Berean Study Bible

And then I will expose
The phrase "And then I will expose" signifies a divine action of revelation and judgment. The Hebrew root for "expose" is "גָּלָה" (galah), which means to uncover or reveal. In the context of Hosea, this exposure is not just a physical unveiling but a spiritual and moral revelation of Israel's unfaithfulness. Historically, this reflects God's intention to bring to light the hidden sins of Israel, much like a prophet would reveal the truth to the people. This exposure is a call to repentance, urging the nation to recognize its transgressions and return to God.

her lewdness
The term "lewdness" is translated from the Hebrew word "נִבְלָה" (niblah), which conveys a sense of disgraceful or shameful behavior, often associated with sexual immorality. In the prophetic literature, Israel's idolatry is frequently depicted as spiritual adultery. This metaphor highlights the covenant relationship between God and Israel, akin to a marriage, where idolatry is seen as infidelity. The use of "lewdness" underscores the severity of Israel's betrayal and the depth of their spiritual corruption.

in the sight of her lovers
This phrase indicates that the exposure of Israel's sins will occur publicly, "in the sight of her lovers." The "lovers" here symbolize the foreign nations and deities with whom Israel has formed alliances and to whom they have turned for security and provision, instead of relying on God. Historically, these alliances often led Israel away from their covenant with God, resulting in spiritual and political consequences. The public nature of this exposure serves as a warning to both Israel and the surrounding nations of the futility of trusting in anything other than God.

and no one will deliver her
The phrase "and no one will deliver her" emphasizes the totality of God's judgment. The Hebrew root "נָצַל" (natsal) means to rescue or save. In this context, it underscores the inevitability of divine judgment when God's people persist in unfaithfulness. Historically, Israel often sought deliverance from their troubles through political alliances or military strength, but this phrase makes it clear that no earthly power can save them from the consequences of their spiritual adultery.

from My hand
The phrase "from My hand" signifies God's sovereign control and authority. The "hand" of God is a common biblical metaphor for His power and intervention in human affairs. In this context, it underscores that the judgment and discipline Israel faces are directly from God, not merely the result of natural consequences or human actions. This serves as a reminder of God's ultimate authority and the seriousness of turning away from Him. It also offers a glimmer of hope, as the same hand that disciplines is also capable of restoring and redeeming when there is genuine repentance.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 10. - And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. Deprivation is followed by disgrace, dispossession by dishonor. The figure of a faithless female being continued, the calamities of Israel are pictured in the extreme deplorableness of her condition. The word navluth does not elsewhere occur, but its meaning is not difficult to ascertain. It denotes literally, "slackness," "laxness," or a withered state, from navel, to be withered, and may be translated either "her shame" or "her turpitude." The LXX. has ἀκαθαρσίαν, while Jerome renders it stultitiam. Thus she is exposed to the derision and disgust of her former admirers and paramours; while deliverance is out of the question. Her lovers are the idols, or, according to Kimchi," Egypt and Assyria, which cannot deliver her." She who once was the object of delight is become the object of disdain and contempt; nor is there any of her quondam lovers desirous of or able to deliver her out of the hand of him who administers the justly deserved punishment.
