My people perish for lack of the<br />
knowledge. (Hos 4:6)<br />
He will revive us after two days;<br />
on the third day he will raise us<br />
up and we will live before his face.<br />
(Hos 6:2)<br />
Out of Egypt I have called out to my<br />
son. (Hos 11:1)<br />
My heart has turned against me,<br />
my consolations have been kindled<br />
I will not do the heat of my anger...<br />
For I myself am God and not man.<br />
(Hos 11:8-9)<br />
For I desire kindness and not sacrifice,<br />
and knowledge of God rather<br />
than burnt offerings. (Hos 6:6)<br />
Where [is] your judgment, Death?<br />
Where [is] your sting, Hades?<br />
(Hos 13:14)<br />
In compiling as best they could<br />
fourteen chapters of glowing poetry,<br />
the ancient prophet of more than<br />
twenty-eight centuries ago and<br />
those who transmitted him gathered<br />
words that are forever living.<br />
Complaints and threats by the lover<br />
who had been turned away, the<br />
groaning of the deceived and still<br />
smitten husband, the implacable<br />
indictment by the angry judge, the<br />
triumphant blast of the trumpet, the<br />
father’s tender encouragement of<br />
his children – far from the immobile<br />
first mover of Greek philosophy:<br />
this is literally the heart of a passionate<br />
God who pours out his feelings<br />
that are turned upside down with<br />
humanity in these inspired pages.<br />
Collaborative Work<br />
Eugen Pentiuc, who is now professor<br />
of Old Testament and Hebrew<br />
and Associate Dean of Academic<br />
Affairs for Hellenic College and<br />
Holy Cross in Brookline, MA, is<br />
a former student of the ÉBAF. He<br />
did us the favor of joining the research<br />
program from the time it<br />
was launched at the 2006 Catholic<br />
Biblical Association (Fordham<br />
University). As a specialist in Hosea,<br />
he had already published a commentary<br />
on this book in Romanian<br />
in 2001. The impulse given to our<br />
work by Eugen has brought to the<br />
present writing its clearly philological<br />
contour, perseverance in formulating<br />
historical hypotheses throughout<br />
Hosea’s ancient prophecies, and<br />
an emphasis on the present-day relevance<br />
of Hosea’s teaching about<br />
the true personality of God, whose<br />
intimacy with the human being<br />
went even to the incarnation 2 . Three<br />
other translators and philologists —<br />
fr. Łukasz Popko op. (of the Ecole),<br />
fr. Etienne Méténier beat., and Gad<br />
Barnea — made it possible to perfect<br />
the translation by moving to<br />
notes all conjectures concerning the<br />
Hebrew text and by systematically<br />
adding the readings found in the<br />
various versions, while eight other<br />
scholars enriched it with the history<br />
of the book’s reception.<br />
