1; Hosea 2:1-23; Hosea 3:1-5THE SIN AGAINST LOVEHosea 1:1-11; Hosea 2:1-23; Hosea 3:1-5; Hosea 4:11 ff.; Hosea 9:10 ff.; Hosea 11:8 f.The Love of God is a terrible thing-that is the last lesson of the Book of Hosea. "My God will cast them away." {Hosea 10:1-15}"My God"-let us remember the right which Hosea had to use these words. Of all the prophets he was the first to break into the full aspect of the Divine Mercy to learn and to proclaim that God is Love. But he was worthy to do so, by the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Hosea 3:1-5

CHAPTER 3 Israel’s Past, Present, and Future 1. The past (Hosea 3:1-3 ) 2. The present (Hosea 3:4 ) 3. The future (Hosea 3:5 ) Hosea 3:1-3 . The command here is not that the Prophet should enter into relation with another woman, but it concerns the same Gomer, the unfaithful wife. It seems she left the prophet and lived in adultery with another man. “And Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a wife, who is beloved of her friend and who is an adulteress; just as Jehovah loves the children... read more

3:3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for {d} me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for [another] man: so [will] I also [be] for thee.(d) I will try you a long time as in your widowhood, whether you will be mine or not. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hosea 3:1-5

THE SWEEP OF THE BOOK It will be seen by the opening verse of this lesson that we are back in the land of Israel before the Babylonian captivity. Examine 2 Kings 14-20 and the corresponding chapters in 2 Chronicles for the history of this period, and the more carefully you read those chapters the more interested you will be in Hosea, and the more you will get out of it. While four of the kings named in Hosea 1:1 reigned in Judah, and only the last-named, Jeroboam, in Israel,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hosea 3:3

There is a great beauty in this verse, as well as a great and blessed doctrine veiled under it. Jehovah Jesus might very justly have put away forever his Israel for their whoredoms, and made the divorce binding; but not so according to the riches of his grace. Israel shall be divorced, if divorced at all, only many days, that is, until the fulness of the Gentiles be completed; then will the Lord call his ancient people home, and their union with him, their glorious head shall be shown, that... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hosea 3:3

Man's. After the person was espoused, any infidelity was punished as if she had been married. It does not appear that Osee took this woman to wife. (Calmet) --- But he signified that the people must wait for God, in captivity. (Theodoret; Sanctius lv.) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 3:1-3

1-3 The dislike of men to true religion is because they love objects and forms, which allow them to indulge, instead of mortifying their lusts. How wonderful that a holy God should have good-will to those whose carnal mind is enmity against Him! Here is represented God's gracious dealings with the fallen race of mankind, that had gone from him. This is the covenant of grace he is willing to enter into with them, they must be to him a people, and he will be to them a God. They must accept the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hosea 3:1-5

The New Marriage of the Adulteress. In a second symbolical marriage the faithful love of God, which for that very reason is also jealous and intends to lead to repentance, is pictured. v. 1. Then said the Lord unto me, Go yet, that is, once more, again, in a second venture, love a woman beloved of her friend, the word being used often for husband, yet an adulteress, one still regarded and surrounded with conjugal love by her lawful husband, though estranged from him on account of her... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Hosea 3:1-5

Hosea 3:0The Love which Jehovah preserves towards the “Adulterous” People, and the Chastening in Love which He undertakes for their Conversion, again symbolically represented.1 Then said the Lord [And Jehovah said] unto me, Go yet,1 love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the Lord [Jehovah] toward the children of Israel, who look [and they turn] to other gods, and love flagons of wine2 [raisin-cakes]. 2So I bought her3 to me for a homer of barley and a... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hosea 3:1-5

“A Door of Hope” Hosea 2:14-23 ; Hosea 3:1-5 The valley of Achor was a long wild pass up through the hills. The prophet says that a door of hope would open there, like the Mont Cenis tunnel which leads from the precipices and torrents on the northern slopes of the Alps to the sunny plains of Italy. That door opens hard by the heap of stones beneath which that troubler of Israel, Achan, was laid. We must put away our Achans before we can see doors of hope swing wide before us. The prophet... read more
