Hosea may refer to:
- Hosea (Biblical book), the 28th book of the Old Testament.
- Hosea (prophet), one of the Minor prophets after whom the Biblical book is named.
In the Book, Hosea uses not only Judah and Israel but Efraim too, referring to the Jewish people.
Hosea finishes off with a final eternal embrace by God:
| “ | 1 Samaria shall be accounted guilty, for she has rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword, their infants shall be dashed, and their pregnant women shall be ripped up.
2 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for you have stumbled in your iniquity. : 3 Take words with yourselves and return to the Lord. Say, "You shall forgive all iniquity and teach us [the] good [way], and let us render [for] bulls [the offering of] our lips. 4 Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride on horses, nor will we say any longer, our gods, to the work of our hands, for in You, by Whom the orphan is granted mercy." 5 I will remedy their backsliding; I will love them freely, for My wrath has turned away from them. 6 I will be like dew to Israel, they shall blossom like a rose, and it shall strike its roots like the Lebanon. |
