Hosea - 8:2 Meaning

“Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

8:1-4 When Israel was hard pressed, they would claim protection from God, but this would be disregarded. What stead will it stand in to say, My God, I know thee, if we cannot say, My God, I love thee, serve thee, and cleave to thee only?

“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
