Matthew Poole and continuators on Hosea 2:20

20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness , and thou shalt know the LORD .

This verse is a third promise in the same words to comfort and encourage the true Israel, only faithfulness is here added a qualification of this new Marriage, which shall continue firm on a mutual faithful promise, love, and contract.

His just anger which hath punished, his rich Grace which hath now pardoned, and now taken into Covenant again, his faithfulness, and tender compassions, his All sufficiency, and Sovereignty that we may obey him, and rest satisfied in his love as 'tis our reward, and happyness.
