Chapter 2

2:2-3 - Hosea tells his kids to talk to their mother, "For she is not my wife." Then God continues to rant about "whoredoms" and "adulteries from between her breasts." He threatens to "strip her naked and set her as in the day she was born."

* In these verses, Hosea's wife and the country of Israel are shown to have committed adultery and produced offspring. This is upsetting to God. Therefore, there are verses about exposing the nakedness (sin) of this woman.

2:4-5 - God "will not have mercy upon her children for they be the children of whoredoms. For their mother hath played the harlot." * The Creator God decides who will have His mercy and who will not. He also decides how much patience He will have on people. Sin makes people guilty and consequently, sinners cannot argue their case against Him. They are unrighteous.

2:10 - God says he "will discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers."

* This Hebrew word for "discover" is better translated "uncover." God uncovers her sins in the sight of her lovers (the ones that she has sinned with).

2:13 - God gets jealous when women wear jewelry and pursue relationships with other men.

* This verse indicates how God is upset when women are adulterous; both earthly women and the country of Israel (and the church, today).
