Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
All Commentaries on Hosea 2:14 Go To Hosea 2
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
Since she [Israel] is accessible like a wellwatered land to the herds of demons, he [the Lord] promises to treat her as a wilderness…. He will display it to their desires as an austere, untrodden and waterless place, so that finding no resting place they will despise it and depart.
