Hosea5:15
15. return to my place--that is, withdraw My favor.
till they acknowledge their offence--The Hebrew is, "till they suffer the penalty of their guilt." Probably "accepting the punishment of their guilt" (compare Zec 11:5) is included in the idea, as English Version translates. Compare Le 26:40, 41; Jr 29:12, 13; Eze 6:9; 20:43; 36:31.
seek my face--that is, seek My favor (Pr 29:26, Margin).
in ... affliction ... seek me early--that is, diligently; rising up before dawn to seek Me (Psa 119:147; compare Psa 78:34).
