The love of God of his people

Hos 2:14–23

2:14The love of God of his people

Northern kingdom

14Therefore, listen, I’m going to entice her.

I’ll bring her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.

15I’ll give her back her vineyards,

and the depressing Akor Valley[ref] as a gateway for hope.

She’ll answer me there as in the days of her youth—

like at the time that she came out of Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim):

16“Yahweh declares you’ll call me, ‘My husband,’ at the time

^and no longer call me, ‘My master (Heb. Baal),’

17because I’ll remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,

and they’ll no longer be remembered by their names.”


18“On that day I’ll make an agreement for them

with the animals in the fields,

with the birds in the sky,

and with the crawling things on the ground.

I’ll abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land,

and I’ll make you lie down in safety.

19I’ll take you as my wife forever.

I’ll marry you to me in righteousness and justice,

in loyal commitment, and in mercy.

20I’ll be faithful to you as my wife,

and you’ll know Yahweh.

21This is Yahweh’s declaration:

At that time I’ll answer the skies with rain,

and they’ll answer the earth.

22The earth will answer the grain, the new wine and the oil,

and they’ll answer Yizre’el (which means ‘God sows/plants’).

23I will sow her for myself in the land,

and I will have mercy on Lo-Ruhamah (‘No mercy’).

I will tell Lo-Ammi (‘Not my people’),

‘You are my people,’

and they’ll say, ‘You’re our God.’ ”[ref]

Josh 7:24-26:

24Then Yehoshua took Achan and the silver, the cloak, the gold along with his children and his animals, his tent and everything he owned, and took them to the Akor Valley along with all the people, 25and he said, “Why did you cause trouble for us? Yahweh will trouble you today.” And the people executed him by throwing rocks at him. Then they threw rocks at them all and burnt the bodies 26and piled rocks over them which are still there to this day and Yahweh’s anger subsided. That’s why that place is called ‘Akor’ (i.e., ‘Trouble’) Valley to this day.

Rom 9:25:

25The prophet Hosea even wrote:[ref]

“I’ll be calling those ‘my people’

who’re not my people,

and I’ll be calling as ‘my love’

the woman who was never loved.


9:25: Hos 2:23.

1Pe 2:10:

10[ref]Previously you all weren’t a people group, but now you’re the people of God—previously you all hadn’t been shown mercy, but now you have been.
