Introdução
IV.
Here commences a new part in the collection of Hosea’s prophecies. The entire chapter is one terrible series of accusations, supporting the severe character of the imagery already employed. It is difficult to assign it to any particular period. It may have been composed during the years that immediately succeeded the reign of Jeroboam II. Ewald divides it into four strophes: Oséias 4:1; Oséias 4:6; Oséias 4:11; Oséias 4:15. The first two expand the former part of the reproach conveyed in Oséias 4:1; Oséias 4:11 point to the licentiousness of Israel; while in Oséias 4:15 judgment is pronounced.
