For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 7 is found in chapter 8 of Hosea. The metaphor of sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind summarizes the logic of Israel’s decisions. What is sown seems small, but the harvest becomes destructive. Alliances with foreign nations and gifts sent to Assyria do not solve the crisis. The people become weaker while seeking security outside their relationship with God.
