The Hebrew word for "walk" is "halak," which implies a continuous action or lifestyle. In the context of Hosea, this is a prophetic promise of Israel's future repentance and restoration. Historically, Israel often strayed from God, but this verse assures that a time will come when they will follow Him wholeheartedly. Walking after the LORD suggests a journey of faith, where believers align their steps with God's will, reflecting a life transformed by His guidance.<p><b>He will roar like a lion</b><br />The imagery of God roaring like a lion is powerful and evocative. The Hebrew word for "roar" is "sha'ag," which conveys a sense of majesty and authority. In the ancient Near East, the lion was a symbol of strength and kingship. This metaphor illustrates God's sovereign power and His ability to command attention and obedience. The roar signifies both a call to His people and a warning to His enemies. It is a reminder of God's protective nature over His covenant people, as well as His ultimate authority over all creation.<p><b>When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west</b><br />The phrase "His children" refers to the Israelites, God's chosen people. The Hebrew term "ben" is used here, emphasizing a familial relationship between God and Israel. The act of coming "trembling" indicates a reverent fear and awe in response to God's call. Historically, the west could symbolize the lands of exile, suggesting a return from dispersion. This imagery of trembling also reflects a deep respect and recognition of God's holiness and power. It is a prophetic vision of restoration, where God's people respond to His call with humility and reverence, acknowledging His sovereignty and their dependence on Him.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hosea/11.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) Render, <span class= "ital">They shall go up after Jehovah, who roars as a lion; yea, he shall roar so that the children, &c.</span> Lions accompanied Egyptian monarchs to the battle-field.

But this necessitates a double ellipsis of "<span class="accented">after</span> which." They would go after the Lord in obedience to his summons. That summons is represented as far-reaching and terrible. Calling his people to return, the Lord roars as a lion, to denote at once the loudness of the call, and the awful majesty of the Lord when thus calling his people to return. "<span class="accented">As</span> a lion," says Kimchi, "<span class="accented">which</span> roars that the animals whose king he is may assemble to him, so the Israelites shall assemble on hearing the voice of the Lord when he roars." The roaring of the lion may signify his terrible judgments on Israel's enemies, when he calls his people home from the lands of their dispersion. The result would be a speedy return of his children from the lands of the West - the countries round or beyond the Mediterranean. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/hosea/11-10.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">They will walk after</span><br /><span class="heb">אַחֲרֵ֧י</span> <span class="translit">(’a·ḥă·rê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_310.htm">Strong's 310: </a> </span><span class="str2">The hind or following part</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the LORD;</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָ֛ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
