  6. …return to the LORD. Jer 5:3 O LORD, do not Your eyes look for truth? You have smitten them, But they did not weaken; You have consumed them, But they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to repent.

  7. …return to the LORD. Heb 12:16-17 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

  8. (2) Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to Him, "Take away all iniquity And receive us graciously, That we may present the fruit of our lips.

  9. …the fruit of our lips. Hos 4:16 Since Israel is stubborn Like a stubborn heifer, Can the LORD now pasture them Like a lamb in a large field?

  10. …the fruit of our lips. Heb 13:15 Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

  11. (3) "Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, 'Our god,' To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy.”

  12. (3) "Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, 'Our god,' To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy.” You alone will be the object of our faith…

  13. (4) I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them.

  14. I will heal their apostasy… Jer 3:22 "Return, O faithless sons, I will heal your faithlessness." "Behold, we come to You; For You are the LORD our God.

  15. I will heal their apostasy… “It is the word “unbelief” that should cast a dismal, lugubrious, funereal pall over all, for it is the root of sin, the mother of sorrows, as universal as human nature, as eternal as human history”

  16. I will heal their apostasy… Psa 107:20 He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

  17. I will heal their apostasy… Isa 53:5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.

  18. (4) I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them.

  19. “THIS SENTENCE IS A BODY of divinity in miniature. He who understands its meaning is a theologian, and he who can dive into its fullness is a true Master in divinity. "I will love them freely," is a condensation of the glorious message of salvation which was delivered to us in Christ Jesus our Redeemer.”--Charles Spurgeon--

  20. I will love them freely… Exo 35:29 The Israelites, all the men and women, whose heart moved them to bring material for all the work, which the LORD had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a freewill offering to the LORD.

  21. I will love them freely… Psa 54:6a Willingly I will sacrifice to You; … Psa110:3a Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power; … Psa68:9a You shed abroad a plentiful rain, O God;

  22. (4) I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them.

  23. …My anger has turned away from them. When we turn, He turns… 1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

  24. “This is a wonderful chapter to be at the end of such a book. I had never expected from such a prickly shrub to gather so fair a flower, so sweet a fruit; but so it is: where sin abounded, grace doth much more abound. No chapter in the Bible can be more rich in mercy than this last of Hosea; and yet no chapter in the Bible might, in the natural order of things, have been more terrible in judgment. Where we looked for the blackness of darkness, behold a noontide of light!” --Charles Spurgeon--
