er Lesson Vil--Hosea r es God's Love, km 14, 48. Golden Text--I desir , and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings. Hosea 6: 6. ANALYSIS, © L APPEAL AND WARNING, chap 6. 1 THE LOVE AND THE PATIENCE OF Gon, chap. 11. - III EXHORTATION AND PROMISE, chap. 14. INTRODUCTION--Hosea, like fimos hi in the eighth century B.C. messages also were roses the people of the northern kin; Tad Israel, He was somewhat later Amos, and the period of trouble which that prophet foresaw was al, ready beginning when his ipruphetie ges were delivered. ut this this can be seen in several passages as fr example, 4:1-2; 5:2, 13;7:1, lt 12:1). His style is not simple clear like that of Amos, but is broken fragmentary, disjointed, yet it presents here and there passages of great power and beauty, which lend themselves to quotation (see 2:19-20; 4:9, 17; 6:1-3, 4-6; 8:7; 18:14). While the appeal of Amos is based upon the fundamental laws of justice and righteousness, Hosea dwells more upon the love of God which is offended and freed by the sing of his people. In ¢ 1-3, Israel is: compared to an unfaithful wife who abandons her husband and goes after other lovers. But Jehovah follows his people with changeless love and seeks to win them back from their idols to himself. In chap. 11, he is the indulgent Father whose son, tenderly cared for in vhildhood, has forsaken him when grown to be a man. 1. APPEAL AND WARNING, chap. 6. Verses 1-3 are the prophets appeal to his fellow countrymen to join him in penitent confession and return to the Lord. It is a great mistake to treat them, as some recent writers do, #8 the insincere and shallow repent- unce of those who have not taken seriously the prophet's admonition, and have not recognized either the gravity of their offences or the weight of the wrath of God. The words are the prophet's own and are quite sin- cere. He knows the just judgments of God, but he knows also his mercy and his forgiving grace. He who has torn will heal. He who has smitten will bind up the wound, ness is ready for the penitent seeker; it is sure as the rning dawn and as the rain in its season. Compare mos b5:14-16; Isa. 1:18; b55:8-7; salm 51:17, The Christian Fathers and some modern writers understood verse 2 to predict the resurrection of Jesus Christ (c.f. 1 Cor. 15:4), but the context disproves this. In strong contrast the following verses (4-11), present the fickleness and waywardness of Israel (here call- ed by the name of its largest tribe, Ephraim). their sins by the stern teaching of his prophets, and had clearly revealed to Fo his will (read "My judgments," v. 5), showing them that mercy (that is, "kindness" in its widest sense), and the knowledge (or recognition), of God in all the relationships of life, were what God required of them (c.f. 1 8am. 15:22), but they had not pro- fited by that teaching. Judah, too, is to suffer for sins of the same char- acter, but for her there will be res-| toration. Verse 11 is, apparently, added by a later hand. II. THE LOVE AD THE PATIENCE OF Gop, chap, 1 Verses 1-4 may 3 paraphrased as follows, basing a slight corréction of the text on the ancient Greek trans- lations (the LXX): 'When Jerael was young then I loved m, And out of Egypt called my son. 'But i as I called them they went their Way, Turning from me they offered sacrifice to-the Baals, And burnt"incense to idols. Yet it was I taught Ephraim to walk aking them upon mine arms, But they knew not that it was I who cared for them. With cords of human kindness 1 drew them, 'With bonds of love. The prophet thus dwells upon the early years of Israel's life, when the Lord led the people out of Egyptian bondage and established them in the, telligence can be sup, and promised to their fathers, and to action by an ap) yet they had turned from him to Canaanite idols.

The proph- ets seem to have regarded their pre- dictions, whether of or evil, as conditional upon the behavior of the people. Theré was always hope sor the penitent man or nation (see Jer. 18:1-12). The. words of confession will be as an acceptable sacrifice upon God's altar, v. 2. No more will Israel rely upon Aséhor (that is, Assyria), or upon Egypt '(whence came the horses).
