* '''Idolatory''' - Throughout the book, the people are shown to have ignored the command of exclusive worship of God, for example in [[Hosea 8:4]]
** ''{{web_verse|hosea|8|4}}''
* '''Ungrateful hearts ''' - The people have forgotten all the good things that God has done, for example in [[Hosea 13]]:4-6
** ''{{web_verse|hosea|13|4}}''
** ''{{web_verse|hosea|13|5}}''
** ''{{web_verse|hosea|13|6}}''
* '''Lack of knowledge of God'''
* A '''shallow appearance of religion with no real depth''' is shown throughout the book, for example in [[Hosea 8]]:1-3
** ''{{web_verse|hosea|8|1}}''
** ''{{web_verse|hosea|8|2}}''

Because of these sins, God reveals that he will bring judgement upon Israel, rejecting them and allowing them to be conquered. This occurred in [[722 BC]] when Assyrian armies conquered the northern [[kingdom of Judah]] and the people were exiled. Passages that describe this event include:
** ''{{web_verse|hosea|9|17}}'' ([[Hosea 9:17]])
** ''{{web_verse|hosea|5|14}}'' ([[Hosea 5:14]])
