Study Lenses
The verse centers on "heart", "deuided", "nowe", "shall", "founde", "faultie", and "breake". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "heart" and "deuided", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 1's "Israel is a emptie vine yet hath..." into verse 3's "For now they shall say We haue...", so "heart" and "deuided" belong inside that flow. In Hosea context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "heart" and "deuided" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
