βI am Yahweh!
Your God!
I brought you
From the land of Egypt.
I will make you
Live in tents again,
As in the days
Of the appointed festivals.
I spoke to the prophets.
It was I
Who multiplied visions.
I will bring destruction
Through the prophets.β
Yahweh, via Hosea, responded that he was their God. He had brought them out of the land of Egypt. However, he was going to make them live in tents again, like they did on the festival of Tents. He had spoken to the prophets. He had provided their visions. He now could bring destruction to them via the same prophets.
