Oséias 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 2:8

For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil,
&c.] This is a reason, not of her resolution to return to her first husband, but to go after lovers, and of her ascribing these things to them, ( Hosea 2:5 ) , and why the Lord would behave towards her as he determined to do, ( Hosea 2:6 Hosea 2:7 ) , this ignorance was wilful and affected, and therefore blameable; she might have known, but she would not; she did not set her mind to know; she did not consider who gave her these things, nor behave as if she knew, as Jarchi: or she did not own and acknowledge God to be the author and giver of them, as she should have done; which was ingratitude rather than ignorance, and is a heinous sin, and to be resented; since all good things, temporal and spiritual, as daily bread, all the necessaries of life, signified by these things, so the word, and ordinances, and spiritual gifts, which they may be emblems of, come from God, and should be acknowledged; but the Jews, as in the times of Isaiah, did not know him, and acknowledge his benefits, ( Isaiah 1:2 Isaiah 1:3 ) , so, in the times of Christ, they did not know him to be the God of Israel, God over all, blessed for ever; from whom, and for whose sake, who was to be, and was born of them, they enjoyed the privileges they did, ( John 1:10 John 1:11 ) ( Romans 9:4 Romans 9:5 ) . And multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal;
the relative "which" may refer to all that goes before; and the sense be, that these gifts of God, and which should have been owned as such, and employed in his service, and to his glory; some were made use of in meat and drink offerings to Baal; and others in decking themselves to appear in his worship to his honour; or in ornamenting the idol therewith, or in making it thereof, so the Targum and Syriac version: and all this may be said to be done, when these things are spent in the service of other lords than the Lord himself; when they are abused to sinful purposes, and consumed on the lusts of men, to gratify their sensuality, pride, and vanity, which the Jews did.

Oséias 2:8 In-Context

6 Por isso bloquearei o seu caminho com espinheiros;eu a cercarei de tal modo que ela não poderá encontrar o seu caminho.

7 Ela correrá atrás dos seus amantes, mas não os alcançará;procurará por eles, mas não os encontrará.Então ela dirá:‘Voltarei a estar com o meu marido como no início,pois eu estava bem melhor do que agora’.

8 Ela não reconheceu que fui euquem lhe deu o trigo, o vinho e o azeite,quem a cobriu de ouro e de prata,que depois usaram para Baal.

9 “Por isso levarei o meu trigo quando ele amadurecer,e o meu vinho quando ficar pronto.Arrancarei dela minha lã e meu linho,que serviam para cobrir a sua nudez.

10 Pois agora vou expor a sua lascíviadiante dos olhos dos seus amantes;ninguém a livrará das minhas mãos.
