Hosea 10:13 ” But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception. Because you have depended on your own strength and your many warriors…”

Instead of cultivating a fruitful & right relationship with God, Israel had planted, reaped, and eaten wickedness & dishonesty. This idea is repeated by Paul in his letter to the Galatians, “A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” (Galatians 6:7-8) The bottom line is this…the one who purses godlessness & morally wrong behavior & actions will eventually be destroyed by it…period. But if we sow righteousness, truth, & goodness, we will most surely reap a lasting reward of great value…whether it’s material or Spiritual.
