  2. Explication du texte

What is the consequence of the people’s adultery against the Lord?

Osée 2:10–13 (NEG79)

10 Elle n'a pas reconnu que c'était moi qui lui donnais le blé, le moût et l'huile; et l'on a consacré au service de Baal l'argent et l'or que je lui prodiguais.

God will intervene. He shows that he will not be mocked. He creates distance between Israel and her lovers. And he does this with the aim that she will long for him again, her lawful Husband, and will say: I was better off with him than I am now. Here God announces the exile.
