יְרוֹמֵם׃ (yə·rō·mēm) in Hosea 11:7

Source Word

יְרוֹמֵם׃yə·rō·mēmVerb - Piel - Imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine plural

Hosea 11:7 row 9 aligns the H7311 Piel imperfect and masculine plural suffix with exalt them at the close of the verse.

How The Form Affects Interpretation

Exalt them keeps the people as the attached object, while by no means in the clause prevents the verb from being misheard as a positive promise. The BSB's exalt them represents the Piel verb and plural suffix; He and the emphatic negative depend on the surrounding clause rather than the suffix itself.

How To Communicate It

Read the negative phrase with the verb, identify them as the people, and keep verse 7 inside Hosea 11's movement from indictment toward divine compassion.

What Not To Say

  • Grammatical form should serve context, not override it.
  • Do not quote exalt them as a promise, erase the emphatic denial, or use the morphology to close questions that the wider chapter continues to address.
  • The masculine singular verb identifies a singular grammatical subject, but its referent is established by the clause and translation context.
  • The morphology does not supply the negation, prove the identity of the subject without context, or make this one line the final word of Hosea 11.

Reader Question

What outcome is denied for the people in Hosea 11:7? The verse says that, despite their calling, they will by no means be exalted while describing them as bent on turning away from the Lord.

Translation Effect

Where Caution Is Needed

The masculine singular verb identifies a singular grammatical subject, but its referent is established by the clause and translation context. The negative force belongs to the surrounding Hebrew construction; Piel itself does not mean refusal or judgment.

Fallacies To Avoid

The third-person ending used by itself to identify the subject or to import the clause's negation into the verb stem: Do not quote exalt them as a promise, erase the emphatic denial, or use the morphology to close questions that the wider chapter continues to address. exalt them quoted without by no means or without the people's continuing turn from the Lord: Keep "exalt them" connected to יְרוֹמֵם׃, row 9, and the full Hosea 11:7 clause.

Communication Use
