Hosea 8 · Grade 2

Planting the Wind

Name Date

Read the Story

A trumpet warned God's people. They had broken God's rules. They made a calf out of gold and called it a god. But a worker made it. It was not God!

God said they were planting the wind, and they would get a whirlwind. Bad choices bring bad results. God wrote His law for them, but they forgot Him. They forgot that God made them.

Memory Verse

“For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.”

Hosea 8:7 (WEB)
