Despising God's Word
Hosea 12:10
I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.


God speaks after the manner of men. It is enough to take away every excuse from men to allege the fact, that they obey not the Word, and offer not themselves to God as submissive and teachable, when He by His prophets exhorts them to repentance. It is an enhancing of sin when God says He has uselessly spent all His efforts to collect the dispersed Israel, through the labours of His prophets.

( John Calvin.)
