Hosea 12:5

12:5 As for the Lord God Almighty,

the Lord is the name by which he is remembered! ¹ 

Hosea 14:7

14:7 People will reside again ²  in his shade;

they will plant and harvest grain in abundance. ³ 

They will blossom like a vine,

and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon.

[12:5]  ¹ tn Heb “[is] his memorial name” (so ASV); TEV “the name by which he is to be worshipped.”

[14:7]  ² tn Hosea uses the similar-sounding terms יָשֻׁבוּ יֹשְׁבֵי (yashuvu yoshve, “the dwellers will return”) to create a wordplay between the roots שׁוּב (shuv, “to return”) and יָשַׁב (yashav, “to dwell; to reside”).

[14:7]  ³ tn Heb “they will cause the grain to live” or “they will revive the grain.” Some English versions treat this as a comparison: “they shall revive as the corn” (KJV); “will flourish like the grain” (NIV).
