References for Hos 6:4 —  1   2 

Hos. 6:2 After two days he will revive us. Even after the punishment described in v. 1, the Lord can heal his people. on the third day he will raise us up. Hosea is not writing specifically about Jesus here, but this picture of Israel’s death and resurrection sets the pattern for what eventually will be accomplished in and through Christ (compare Luke 24:46).

Hos. 6:4–7:3 Israel’s sins are worse than simply violating the law: they repudiate the gracious covenant that is the foundation of their life and hope.

Hos. 6:5 my judgment goes forth as the light. God’s light exposes Israel’s idolatry.

Hos. 6:6 Rather than burnt offerings, God desires real participation in the covenant by his people, here expressed as steadfast love and knowledge of God (see note on Amos 4:4–5).

Hos. 6:7 But like Adam they transgressed the covenant. “Covenant” appears four other times in Hosea (2:18; 8:1; 10:4; 12:1). Twice it refers to breaking a covenant (6:7; 8:1). Israel is like Adam, who disobeyed God (Gen. 2:16–17; 3:17).
