Hosea 14:9: A Final Reflection

The final verse of the book, Hosea 14:9, stands apart from all that went before. Suddenly, “whoever is wise” is implored to understand all of these utterances of Hosea. It is generally agreed that this verse belongs to late sapiential traditions.53 As a wisdom text, Hosea 14:9 provides an excellent recap of the prophetic book, as well as of Hosea 14, for it calls upon future readers, those wishing to become righteous, to walk in the ways of the Lord. It does so in a teacher’s voice, speaking to readers about their personal appropriation of Hosea’s book. Beginning with the Lord’s initial word to the prophet and beyond the fall of Israel and the fall of Judah and Jerusalem, the communities of faith engaged with Hosea’s prophetic legacy as an expression of their covenantal loyalty to the Lord and a means by which they would discover knowledge of God’s ways.

This, all because history proved an ancient dissident to be a true prophet.
