Structure for Hosea 2:2–13

Osée 2:4–15 (NEG79)

4 Plaidez, plaidez contre votre mère, car elle n'est point ma femme, et je ne suis point son mari! Qu'elle ôte de sa face ses prostitutions, et de son sein ses adultères!

  1. Accusation of adultery (Hosea 2:2–5)

  2. Frustrating ongoing adultery (Hosea 2:6–8)

  3. Removal of covenant blessings (Hosea 2:9–13)1

Therefore (Hosea 2:6, Hosea 2:9) signals an important change in focus, shifting from Israel’s adulterous behaviour to the Lord’s response to said behaviour.2 The covenant God will discipline his people by frustrating her idolatrous ways and withdrawing his rich blessings.
