Hosea 14:2-10, Micah 7:18,20<\/strong><\/p>\n

After this chastisement, Hosea goes on to make the case for repentance. Unusually (see \u201cHaftarah Halakhah\u201d, below), the Haftarah continues with words from a second prophet, Micah. He affirms that God will, in fact, receive this repentance and forgive them, due to His covenant with them and their forefathers.<\/p>\n
