Hosea 2:10-11

2:10 Soon ¹  I will expose her lewd nakedness ²  in front of her lovers,

and no one will be able to rescue her from me! ³ 

2:11 I will put an end to all her celebration:

her annual religious festivals,

monthly new moon celebrations,

and weekly Sabbath festivities –

all her appointed festivals.

[2:10]  ¹ tn The particle עַתָּה (’attah) often refers to the imminent or the impending future: “very soon” (BDB 774 s.v. עַתָּה 1.b). In Hosea it normally introduces imminent judgment (Hos 2:12; 4:16; 5:7; 8:8, 13; 10:2).

[2:10]  ² tn Heb “her lewdness” (so KJV, NIV); NAB, NRSV “her shame.”

[2:10]  ³ tn Heb “out of my hand” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV); TEV “save her from my power.”
