It's n0t too late for Israel's Jews to turn back to God and abandon the idols and other pagan deities who they have been worshipping themselves.
To help them reach that decision, Hosea paints a terrifying future where Israel faces utter devastation.
He then hands the baton to the prophet Joel whose predictions are even bleaker.
Joel describes a catastrophic locust swarm that will decimate the land, all the more terrifying as it's uncertain whether or not he is being metaphorical.
If it's powerful ,poetic pronouncements of doom that light your fire, you're in for the ride of your life.
