Oseas 2:13

13 La llamaré a cuentas por los díasen que quemaba ofrendas a sus falsos dioses,cuando se adornaba con zarcillos y joyas,y olvidándose de mí, se iba tras sus amantes—afirma el SEÑOR—.

Oseas 2:13 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 2:13

And, I will visit upon her the days of Baalim
That is, punish them for all the idolatries committed by their forefathers, in the days that the several Baals, as Baalpeor, and Baalberith, and others, were worshipped by them; they their children, though not worshipping these Baalim, yet other lords, lusts and idols, they set up of themselves, and in their own hearts; see ( Matthew 23:32-36 ) : wherein she burnt incense to them;
to the Baalim; this one species of idolatrous worship being put for the rest: and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels;
with her best and richest attire; the latter word signifying in the Arabic language, as Jarchi observes, the ornaments of women; this was done to grace the idolatrous worship, and for the honour of the idols: and she went after her lovers;
the traditions of the elders; the weak and beggarly elements of the ceremonial law now abolished, and their own legal righteousness: and forgot me, saith the Lord:
or, "left my worship", as the Targum; forgot and rejected the true Messiah, his word and ordinances.

Oseas 2:13 In-Context

11 Pondré fin a todo su jolgorio:sus peregrinaciones, sus lunas nuevas,sus días de reposo, y sus fiestas solemnes.

12 Devastaré sus vides y sus higueras,que consideraba la paga de sus amantes.Las convertiré en maleza,y los animales del campo acabarán con ellas.

13 La llamaré a cuentas por los díasen que quemaba ofrendas a sus falsos dioses,cuando se adornaba con zarcillos y joyas,y olvidándose de mí, se iba tras sus amantes—afirma el SEÑOR—.

14 »Por eso, ahora voy a seducirla:me la llevaré al desiertoy le hablaré con ternura.

15 Allí le devolveré sus viñedos,y convertiré el valle de la Desgraciaen el paso de la Esperanza.Allí me corresponderá, como en los días de su juventud,como en el día en que salió de Egipto.
