Hosea 14:2
_ _ Take with you words — instead of sacrifices, namely, the words of penitence here put in your mouths by God. “Words,” in Hebrew, mean “realities,” there being the same term for “words” and “things”; so God implies, He will not accept empty professions (Psalms 78:36; Isaiah 29:13). He does not ask costly sacrifices, but words of heartfelt penitence.
_ _ receive us graciously — literally “(for) good.”
_ _ calves of our lips — that is, instead of sacrifices of calves, which we cannot offer to Thee in exile, we present the praises of our lips. Thus the exile, wherein the temple service ceased, prepared the way for the gospel time when the types of the animal sacrifices of the Old Testament being realized in Christ’s perfect sacrifice once for all, “the sacrifice of praise to God continually that is the fruit of our lips” (Hebrews 13:14) takes their place in the New Testament. |

Render — This will qualify and encourage us to give the sacrifices which are more pleasing to God than calves or oxen. |

(c) Declaring that this is the true sacrifice that the faithful can offer, even thanks and praise; (Hebrews 13:15). |
