Bible Chapter Summary
Hosea 2 Summary
Judgment and Restoration Through Covenant
God pleads with Israel, comparing the nation to an unfaithful wife who pursued her lovers, forgetting that the LORD provided her sustenance. God threatens to strip her bare, destroy her vines and fig trees, and cause her mirth to cease. Yet God promises to allure her back, speak comfortably to her, restore her vineyards, and make a new covenant with her in righteousness, lovingkindness, and faithfulness, saying Thou art my people and they shall respond Thou art my God.
