Hosea 9:11-17
The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will not be born or grow in the womb or even be conceived.Even if you do have children who grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone.I have watched Israel become as beautiful as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children for slaughter.”O Lord, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don’t give birth and breasts that give no milk.The Lord says,“ All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels.The people of Israel are struck down. Their roots are dried up, and they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children.”My God will reject the people of Israel because they will not listen or obey. They will be wanderers, homeless among the nations.

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says:“ My servants will eat, but you will starve. My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty.

For I will put aside my anger and forget the evil of earlier days.

2 Peter 2 20-2 Peter 2 22
And when people escape from the wickedness of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again, they are worse off than before.It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life.They prove the truth of this proverb:“ A dog returns to its vomit.” And another says,“ A washed pig returns to the mud.”
