Hosea8:3

3. Israel--God repeats the name in opposition to their use of it (Ho 8:2).

the thing that is good--Jerome translates, "God" who is good and doing good (Psa 119:68). He is the chief object rejected, but with Him also all that is good.

the enemy shall pursue him--in just retribution from God.
