In this chapter,
(1,) God charges the Israelites with their idolatries, their forgetfulness of him, and their obligations to him, Hosea 2:1 , Hosea 2:2 , Hosea 2:5 , Hosea 2:8 .
(2,) He threatens to take from them that abundance of outward mercies wherewith they had served their idols, and to abandon them to certain ruin, Hosea 2:3-7 , Hosea 2:9-13 . But,
(3,) He promises, at last, to return to them in mercy, after they should be gathered from their dispersions, Hosea 2:14 ; to cure them of their wonted idolatry and wickedness, Hosea 2:7 , Hosea 2:16 , Hosea 2:17 ; and, for their complete safety, to render them his people, and make them share the blessings of his covenant, Hosea 2:18-20 , Hosea 2:23 ; and bestow upon them all necessary benefits and comforts, temporal and spiritual, Hosea 2:15 , Hosea 2:21 , Hosea 2:22 .
