Hosea 6 is the sixth chapter of the Book of Hosea in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1][2] This chapter contains the prophecies spoken by the prophet Hosea son of Beeri, about an exhortation to repentance, Hosea 6:1-3 and a complaint against Israel and Judah for persisting still in their wickedness, Hosea 6:4-11.[3] It is a part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets.[4][5]
Text
The original text is written in Hebrew language. This chapter is divided into 11 verses.
Textual versions
Some early witnesses for the text of this chapter in Hebrew language:
- Masoretic Text (10th century)
- Dead Sea Scrolls: (2nd century BC)[6][7]
- 4Q82 (4QXIIg): extant: verses 3‑4, 8‑11[6]
Ancient manuscripts in Koine Greek containing this chapter are mainly of the Septuagint version, including Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: S; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century).[8]
Verse 1
- Come, and let us return unto the Lord:
- for he hath torn, and he will heal us;
- he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.[9]
- for he hath torn, and he will heal us;
- "Come and let us return unto the Lord": These words depend closely on the foregoing. They are words put into their mouth by God Himself, with which or with the like, they should exhort one another to return to God. Before, when God smote them, they had gone to Assyria; now they should turn to Him, owning, not only that He who "tore" has the power and the will to "heal" them, but that He tore, "in order to" heal them; He smote them, "in order to" bind them up. This closeness of connection is expressed in the last words; literally, "smite He and He will bind us up."[10]
- "Let us return": in order that God who has "returned to His place" "may return to us" (Hosea 5:15)[3]
- "He hath torn, and he will heal us": The presence of the pronoun imparts emphasis to the statement, so that it is rather than "he": "it is that hath torn"; and the preterit of this verse, compared with the future in verse 14 of the foregoing chapter, implies that the destruction there predicted has become an accomplished fact.[11]
- "He will bind us up": the same hand that has torn will heal and that has smitten will bind up, and none else can; and therefore there is a necessity of returning to him for healing and a cure, Deuteronomy 32:39; and his tearing is in order to heal, and his smiting in order to bind up; and, as sure as he has done the one, he will do the other, and therefore there is great encouragement to apply to him; all which the Jews will be sensible of in the last day; and then the Lord, who is now tearing them in his wrath, and smiting them in his sore displeasure, both in their civil and church state, dispersing them among the nations, and has been so doing for many hundred years, will "bind up the breach of his people, and heal the stroke of their wound", Isaiah 30:26; and so the Lord deals with all his people, who are truly and really converted by him.[12]
Verse 2
- After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.[13]
