TWOT Reference: 484a
Jehovah = "the existing One"
the proper name of the one true God
unpronounced except with the vowel pointings of H136
Strong's Number H3068 matches the Hebrew יְהֹוָה (Yᵊhōvâ),
which occurs 46 times in 39 verses in 'Hos'
in the WLC Hebrew.
The word of the LORD that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and of Jeroboam son of Jehoash, king of Israel.
When the LORD first spoke to Hosea, he said this to him:
Go and marry a woman of promiscuity,
and have children of promiscuity,
for the land is committing blatant acts of promiscuity
by abandoning the LORD.
Then the LORD said to him:
Name him Jezreel,[fn] for in a little while
I will bring the bloodshed of Jezreel
on the house of Jehu
and put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
But I will have compassion on the house of Judah,
and I will deliver them by the LORD their God.
I will not deliver them by bow, sword, or war,
or by horses and cavalry.
And I will punish her for the days of the Baals,
to which she burned incense.
She put on her rings and her jewelry
and followed her lovers,
but she forgot me.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
In that day —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
you will call me “my husband”
and no longer call me “my Baal.”[fn]
On that day I will respond —
this is the LORD’s declaration.
I will respond to the sky,
and it will respond to the earth.
Then the LORD said to me, “Go again; show love to a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, just as the LORD loves the Israelites though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.”
Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come with awe to the LORD and to his goodness in the last days.
Hear the word of the LORD, people of Israel,
for the LORD has a case
against the inhabitants of the land:
There is no truth, no faithful love,
and no knowledge of God in the land!
They will eat but not be satisfied;
they will be promiscuous but not multiply.
For they have abandoned their devotion to the LORD.
Israel, if you act promiscuously,
don’t let Judah become guilty!
Do not go to Gilgal
or make a pilgrimage to Beth-aven,[fn]
and do not swear an oath: As the LORD lives!
For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn cow.
Can the LORD now shepherd them
like a lamb in an open meadow?
Their actions do not allow them
to return to their God,
for a spirit of promiscuity is among them,
and they do not know the LORD.
They go with their flocks and herds
to seek the LORD
but do not find him;
he has withdrawn from them.
They betrayed the LORD;
indeed, they gave birth to illegitimate children.
Now the New Moon will devour them
along with their fields.
Come, let’s return to the LORD.
For he has torn us,
and he will heal us;
he has wounded us,
and he will bind up our wounds.
Let’s strive to know the LORD.
His appearance is as sure as the dawn.
He will come to us like the rain,
like the spring showers that water the land.
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them,[fn]
yet they do not return to the LORD their God,
and for all this, they do not seek him.
Put the ram’s horn to your mouth!
One like an eagle comes
against the house of the LORD,
because they transgress my covenant
and rebel against my law.
Though they offer sacrificial gifts[fn]
and eat the flesh,
the LORD does not accept them.
Now he will remember their guilt
and punish their sins;
they will return to Egypt.
They will not stay in the land of the LORD.
Instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt,
and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
They will not pour out
their wine offerings to the LORD,
and their sacrifices will not please him.
Their food will be like the bread of mourners;
all who eat it become defiled.
For their bread will be for their appetites alone;
it will not enter the house of the LORD.
Give them, LORD —
What should you give?
Give them a womb that miscarries
and breasts that are dry!
In fact, they are now saying,
“We have no king!
For we do not fear the LORD.
What can a king do for us? ”
Sow righteousness for yourselves
and reap faithful love;
break up your unplowed ground.
It is time to seek the LORD
until he comes and sends righteousness
on you like the rain.
They will follow the LORD;
he will roar like a lion.
When he roars,
his children will come trembling from the west.
They will be roused like birds from Egypt
and like doves from the land of Assyria.
Then I will settle them in their homes.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
The LORD also has a dispute with Judah.
He is about to punish Jacob according to his conduct;
he will repay him based on his actions.
I have been the LORD your God
ever since[fn] the land of Egypt.
I will make you live in tents again,
as in the festival days.
I have been the LORD your God
ever since[fn] the land of Egypt;
you know no God but me,
and no Savior exists besides me.
