"My God," Not "Their God"
Commentators highlight the prophet's use of "My God." By saying this, Hosea declares a personal relationship with God that the nation of Israel had forfeited through disobedience. It signifies that God is no longer "their" God in a collective, covenantal sense. This serves as a powerful reminder that faith is ultimately personal, and it gave the prophet divine authority to speak judgment even when standing alone against the majority.
