Thanks to all of you who are participating on this Bible Study so far!
I feel like I'm learning lots. As I've said before, if any of you would
like to add questions for us to discuss, please do so -- I'm sure your
questions would allow for edifying discussion.
Now that we are approximately one third of the way through Hosea, I
have two questions before we continue with this week's Bible study:
1.) Are there any things you would change to improve the weekly Bible
study?
2.) Are you enjoying studying Hosea?

This week's Bible reading:
http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?
language=english&passage=Hosea+5&version=NIV
Ice Breaker: There is no ice breaker this week.
Study Questions:
1.) It sounds like more of God's wrath is directed toward Ephraim than
the other tribes, do you think they were especially corrupt or that
they simply are mentioned more frequently as an example to the others?
2.) Why do you suppose only two tribes are mentioned in this passage
specifically?
3.) The NIV, CEV and several other translations translate this in
poetical form, whereas the NLT and KJV seem to use a prose style for
the passage. Does this change make you feel differently about the
passage?
