Osée 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 2:10

And now will I discover her lewdness in the lovers
The people, her lovers, as the Targum; which is by many understood of the Egyptians and Assyrians; but rather means the Romans, whom the Jews courted as their friends: though it seems best to interpret it in a more general way, that the sin and folly of the Jews in rejecting Christ, and adhering to their beloved tenets, should be discovered and made manifest to all in the most public manner by their punishment; by being scattered among the nations, and becoming a taunt, reproach, and a curse everywhere: and none shall deliver her out of my hand; none of her lovers, as Kimchi, nor any other: it denotes the utter, total, and final destruction of the Jews, wrath being come upon them to the uttermost; and which is irrecoverable by human help, has continued for many hundred years, and will until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled, or till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in, ( Luke 21:24 ) ( Romans 11:25 ) .

Osée 2:10 In-Context

8 Or elle n'a pas reconnu que c'était moi qui lui donnais le froment, et le moût, et l'huile, et qui lui multipliais l'argent et l'or, dont ils faisaient un Baal.
9 C'est pourquoi je reprendrai mon froment en son temps, et mon moût en sa saison, et j'enlèverai ma laine et mon lin qui couvraient sa nudité.
10 Et je découvrirai maintenant sa turpitude aux yeux de ses amants, et nul ne la délivrera de ma main.
11 Je ferai cesser toute sa joie, ses fêtes, ses nouvelles lunes, ses sabbats et toutes ses solennités.
12 Je dévasterai ses vignes et ses figuiers, dont elle a dit: "Ce sont là mes salaires, que mes amants m'ont donnés. " Je les réduirai en forêt, et les bêtes des champs les dévoreront.
