  1. Drunkenness – promiscuity – idol worship – immorality.<\/em> All the nasty things are part of Hosea\u2019s rebuke of the people in this chapter.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u201cMy people: It consults its stick, Its rod directs it!\u201d<\/em> (v. 12). This is the pathetic picture of idol worship: daily objects are imputed with divine values.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Not even punishing anymore.<\/em> In the middle of Hosea\u2019s sharp rebuke, verse 14 is surprising: \u201cI will not punish their daughters for fornicating Nor their daughters-in-law for committing adultery.\u201d Does this imply transferring the responsibility from the women, to those who educated them, and therefore they are absolved of punishment, or is this general despair from the situation of the people – \u201cDo whatever you want – I simply don\u2019t care anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Derogatory name<\/em>. Beit El, the location of the Israelite temple is castigated twice. Hosea calls people to refrain from going there, and changes its name from Beit El (\u201cthe house of God) to Beit Aven (\u201chouse of iniquity\u201d – verse 15).<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. A spirit of promiscuity.<\/em> The root \u05d6-\u05e0-\u05d4, z-n-h (\u201cfornicate, be promiscuous) appears 10 times in 9 verses (10-18). Just to make sure you get the point.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":53645,"id":53645,"title":"general-qs-points to
