Hosea 10:10

‘According to my desire,

I will chastise them,

And the peoples will be gathered against them,

When they are bound to their two transgressions.'

And this chastisement, severe as it would be (as it had also been for Benjamin as a result of Gibeah), would occur in accordance with YHWH's will and desire, for YHWH was still sovereign over all. At the time when He calls them to account for (ties them in to) their ‘two transgressions', the peoples of the nations will be gathered together against them (in the same way as Israel had gathered together against Gibeah).

There are differences of opinion as to what the ‘two transgressions' are. Some see them as being their rebellion against YHWH and against the Davidic king (see Hosea 3:5; compare Hosea 8:4). Others see them as being their idolatry (constantly stressed) and disregard of social justice (Hosea 4:2). In a sense both go together, for their rebellion against YHWH was revealed by their idolatry, and their rejection of the Davidic king had resulted in permanent social injustice.
