Hosea 8:3

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 (Ps 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.
