Context of Hosea 2:19
17For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will no longer be mentioned by their names. 18On that day I will also make a covenant for them With the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, And the crawling things of the ground.

Commentaries on Hosea 2:19
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19I will betroth thee unto me - The people are always considered under the emblem of a wife unfaithful to her husband. In righteousness - According to law, reason, and equity. In judgment - According to what is fit and becoming. In lovingkindness - Having the utmost affection and love for thee.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-23Verses 14-23 After these judgments the Lord would deal with Israel more gently. By the promise of rest in Christ we are invited to take his yoke upon us; and the work of conversion may be forwarded by comforts as well as by convictions.

From that time Israel would be more truly attached to the Lord; no…Read the comment

In ancient times, betrothal included all the legal steps of marriage, like the groom paying a bride price. The only things missing were the marriage ceremony and sexual consummation.

"Betroth" is thrice repeated, implying the intense love of God to His people; and perhaps, also, the three Persons of the Triune God, severally engaging to make good the betrothal. The marriage covenant will be as it were renewed from the beginning, on a different footing; not for a time only, as before, through the apostasy of the people, but "forever" through the grace of God writing the law on their hearts by the Spirit of Messiah (Jr 31:31-37)…Read the comment
