SAy ye unto your brethren] Thou Hosea, and all other beleevers among this people, do not yet hold them as altogether rejected, to leave them to their own lusts, but call them to repentance, setting before them what is the dutie of Gods people, signified by Ammi, that is, my people; towards those to whom God hath not shut up the bowels of his mercy: which is signified by Ruhamah. Ammi] That is, my people. Ruhamah] That is, having obtained mercy.
