Hosea 6:11

6:11 I have appointed a time to reap judgment ¹  for you also, O Judah!

If Israel Would Repent of Sin, God Would Relent of Judgment

Whenever I want to restore the fortunes of my people, ² 

Hosea 8:12

8:12 I spelled out my law for him in great detail,

but they regard it as something totally unknown ³  to them!

Hosea 13:7

13:7 So ⁴  I will pounce on them like a lion; ⁵ 

like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

[6:11]  ¹ tn Heb “a harvest is appointed for you also, O Judah” (similar ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[6:11]  ² tc In the verse divisions of the MT (Leningrad Codex and Aleppo Codex), this is the last line of 6:11. However, the BHK and BHS editors suggest that it belongs with the beginning of 7:1. The ancient versions (Greek, Syriac, Latin) all reflect textual traditions that connect it with 6:11. The English versions are divided: some connect it with 6:11 (KJV, NASB, NLT), while others connect it with 7:1 (RSV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NJPS). The parallelism between this line and 7:1a favors connecting it with 7:1.

[8:12]  ³ tn Heb “foreign” or “alien”; NASB, NRSV “as a strange thing.”

[13:7]  ⁴ tn The vav consecutive + preterite form וָאֱהִי (va’ehi) introduces a consequential or result clause; cf. NAB “Therefore”; NCV “That is why.”

[13:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “So I will be like a lion to them” (so NASB); NIV “I will come upon them like a lion.”
