'I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him' — Hosea's concluding oracle of restoration follows the call-to-repentance prayer of verses 2–3, answering human penitential words with a cascading series of divine promises: healing, free love, fertilizing dew (verse 5), blossoming and rooting (verse 6), fragrant shade (verse 7). The Hebrew 'freely' (nedabah — spontaneously, as a freewill offering) frames divine love not as contractual response to repentance but as uncaused, generous initiative — anticipating New Testament language of prevenient grace. The verse has been foundational in Jewish and Christian traditions of preaching divine forgiveness as inexhaustible and freely given.
