Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
Mira, Israel, ya estás actuando mal y siendo infiel a Dios, pero Judá, no sigas su ejemplo. Mantente lejos de Gilgal y no subas a Bet-avén. Y deja de hacer promesas vacías en el nombre de Dios cuando en realidad no las cumples.
Dios advierte a Judá que no siga el ejemplo de infidelidad de Israel ni haga promesas vacías en Su nombre.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, the prophet Hosea was speaking to the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah, warning Israel about their spiritual unfaithfulness to God, which he compared to harlotry due to their idolatry and worship of false gods. He specifically urges Judah not to follow Israel's sinful ways and to avoid places like Gilgal and Bethaven, which were originally significant religious sites but had become centers of idolatry, Gilgal as a former place of covenant renewal and Bethaven as a corrupted version of Bethel. This message reflects the broader historical context of political instability and impending judgment from Assyria on the northern kingdom.
