THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Prophecy of Osee (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

2:14 I will allure her, etc: After all her disloyalties, I will still allure her by my grace etc., and send her vinedressers, viz., the apostles: originally her own children, who shall open to her the gates of hope; as heretofore at her coming into the land of promise, she had all good success after she had satisfied the divine justice by the execution of Achan in the valley of Achor. Jos. 7.
