The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 187
187. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 4
1-3 There is in the church nothing but evil and falsity from the falsified Word; (3)
4-9 and because nothing of the law and doctrine remains, the church has been destroyed. (3)
10-12 Because they have falsified the Word they are no longer able to understand truth, but will behold falsity. (3)
13 For this reason their worship will be from falsities. (3)
14 Will they not perish on this account? (3)
15-19 Likewise those in the spiritual church: these will go away into falsities. (3, 1)
Hosea 4:15-19
15
"Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don't let Judah offend; and don't come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, 'As Yahweh lives.'
16
For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow.
17
Ephraim is joined to idols. Leave him alone!
18
Their drink has become sour. They play the prostitute continually. Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.
19
The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.
