12.(a)Yintoni eshwankathelwa nguHoseya kwisahluko se-13? (b) Kuthenjiswa ngokuphi ukubuyiselwa?

¹² Kwisahluko se-13, uHoseya ushwankathela konke oko sekwenzekile ngokuphathelele idinga langaphambili likaSirayeli nenyameko kaYehova, kwanokulibala kukaSirayeli nokugwilika kolo hlanga ekugqibeleni kuYehova. UYehova uyavakalisa: “Ndikunika ookumkani ndinomsindo, ndibathabathe ngokuphuphuma kwawo.” (13: 11) Kodwa ke, kuya kubakho ukubuyiselwa: “Ndiya kubakhulula esandleni selabafileyo, ndiya kubahlawulela ndibakhulule ekufeni. Ziphi na iindyikitya zakho, kufa? Iphi na imbubhiso yakho, ngcwaba?” (13: 14) Noko ke, kuya kuba kokoyikeka ngokwenene ukutshatyalaliswa kwelakwaSamari elivukelayo.

15.Bazisebenzisa njani ababhali beZibhalo zamaKristu zesiGrike izicatshulwa ezivela kwincwadi kaHoseya?

¹⁵ Iimbekiselo zesiprofeto sikaHoseya ezenziwa ngababhali beZibhalo zamaKristu zesiGrike nazo zikwayingenelo ngokugqithiseleyo ukuba siziqwalasele namhlanje. Ngokomzekelo, uPawulos umsebenzisa ngamandla uHoseya 13: 14 ekuxubusheni ngovuko: “Luphi na, kufa ulwamvila lwakho? Luphi na, . . . uloyiso lwakho?” (1 Kor. 15: 55) Ekugxininiseni ubabalo lukaYehova njengoko luboniswe kwizitya zenceba, uPawulos ucaphula kuHoseya 1: 10 nakwesesi-2:23: “Njengokuba esithi nakwekaHoseya, Ndiya kubabiza abangebantu bam ngokuba ngabantu bam; nongathandiweyo, ngokuba ngothandiweyo. Kwakuya kuthi, apho kwabe kusithiwa kubo, Aningabantu bam nina, babizwe apho ngokuthi, Ningoonyana bakaThixo ophilileyo.” (Roma 9: 25, 26) UPetros uzichaza ngamanye amazwi kwaezi ndinyana zicatshulwe kuHoseya esithi: “Enanifudula ningebantu, ke ngoku ningabantu bakaThixo; enaningenzelwanga nceba, ke ngoku nenzelwe inceba.”—1 Pet. 2:⁠10.
