Hosea 14 is the fourteenth and final chapter of the Book of Hosea in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. [1] [2] In the Hebrew Bible it is part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets. [3] [4] This chapter concludes the prophecies attributed to the prophet Hosea, son of Beeri, with an exhortation to repentance (Hosea 14:1-3), a promise of God's blessing (Hosea 14:4-9), [5] and a concluding verse resembling the wisdom tradition. [6]
The original text was written in Hebrew. This chapter is divided into 9 verses in Christian Bibles, but 10 verses in the Hebrew Bible, which includes Hosea 13:16 as Hosea 14:1. [7] [8] This article generally follows the common numbering in Christian English Bible versions, with notes to the numbering in Hebrew Bible versions.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew come from the Masoretic Text tradition, including the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008). [9] Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, including 4Q78 (4QXIIc; 75–50 BCE) with extant verses 1–5 (verse 1–6 in Masoretic text); [10] [11] [12] [13] and 4Q82 (4QXIIg; 25 BCE) with extant verses 8–9 (verses 9–10 in Masoretic text). [11] [14] [15] [16]
There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century). [17] [a]
This epilogue sums up the whole previous teaching. The Jerusalem Bible treats it as a "later addition in the style of the wisdom literature". [6] Only here Hosea uses the term "righteous", a "rare character" in his day. [5]
