Woman. This second woman denotes the penitent Israel, yet not quite reconciled. The people in captivity are separated both from her idols and from God, though the latter still retains an affection for them. Osee does not marry this woman, but gives his word.

(Worthington) Husks. Septuagint, "cakes made with grapes "for idols. (Theodoret; St. Jerome)
