The imagery of exposure is significant in the ancient Near Eastern context, where public shame was a severe consequence. The term "lewdness" refers to Israel's idolatry and unfaithfulness, akin to a wife's infidelity. This exposure is not just a punishment but a call to repentance, highlighting God's desire for Israel to recognize and turn from their sins.<p><b>in the sight of her lovers</b><br>The "lovers" symbolize the foreign nations and false gods that Israel pursued instead of remaining faithful to Yahweh. Historically, Israel often sought alliances with surrounding nations like Assyria and Egypt, relying on their power rather than trusting in God. This phrase underscores the futility of these alliances, as these "lovers" will witness Israel's disgrace and be unable to help. It also reflects the prophetic theme of Israel's unfaithfulness being laid bare before those they trusted.<p><b>and no one will deliver her out of My hands</b><br>This part of the verse emphasizes God's sovereignty and the certainty of His judgment. Despite Israel's alliances and reliance on other nations, none can rescue her from the consequences of her actions. The phrase "out of My hands" signifies God's ultimate authority and control over the fate of Israel. It echoes the biblical theme of God's inescapable justice, as seen in passages like <a href="/deuteronomy/32-39.htm">Deuteronomy 32:39</a>, where God declares His power to save and destroy. This also foreshadows the ultimate deliverance found in Christ, who alone can rescue humanity from sin.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hosea.htm">Hosea</a></b><br>A prophet in the Northern Kingdom of Israel, called by God to deliver a message of judgment and redemption to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/gomer.htm">Gomer</a></b><br>Hosea's wife, whose unfaithfulness serves as a symbol of Israel's infidelity to God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The Northern Kingdom, often depicted as an unfaithful wife in the book of Hosea, representing the people of God who have turned to idolatry.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The sovereign Lord who is both just and merciful, seeking to bring His people back to Himself.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/l/lovers.htm">Lovers</a></b><br>The false gods and idols that Israel pursued, representing the nation's spiritual adultery.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_idolatry.htm">The Consequences of Idolatry</a></b><br>Idolatry leads to spiritual exposure and shame.

The figure of a faithless female being continued, the calamities of Israel are pictured in the extreme deplorableness of her condition. The word <span class="accented">navluth</span> does not elsewhere occur, but its meaning is not difficult to ascertain. It denotes literally, "slackness," "laxness," or a withered state, from <span class="accented">navel</span>, to be withered, and may be translated either "her shame" or "her turpitude." The LXX. has <span class="greek">ἀκαθαρσίαν</span>, while Jerome renders it <span class="accented">stultitiam</span>. 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. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/hosea/2-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">And then</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעַתָּ֛ה</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘at·tāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6258.htm">Strong's 6258: </a> </span><span class="str2">At this time</span><br /><br /><span class="word">I will expose</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲגַלֶּ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·ḡal·leh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
