Notes

Hosea 11:10–11

Israel’s sin would not be the final word. God, in his holy love, would roar like a lion (see Amos 1:2; 3:8) to call his people home from exile in Babylon.

Hosea 11:1–11

God grieved over Israel’s unfaithfulness. Even after all he had done for them, Israel had turned into a rebellious people. Justice required serious punishment, but the final decision about Israel’s future would come from God’s tender compassion for his people, not from an abstract rule.
