God Demands Steadfast Love and Knowledge of Him (Hosea 6:6)
Hosea appealed to the people of Israel to genuinely return to their God for they had stumbled and failed because of their sins and iniquities. He advised them to manifest genuine repentance, confess their sins and accept only those things that are good in the sight of God. He also advised them to show mercy to the needy; and to desist from idolatry. He warned them to stop their political alliance with the Assyrians as that would not bring solution to their political crisis.
These, according to prophet Hosea were the only things that would deliver and save them from divine judgment and not their numerous offerings and sacrifices without corresponding righteousness and holiness.
