lewdness, shamelessness, immodesty (as persistent moral quality)
A noun denoting shameless behavior or sexual immodesty, appearing in Hosea 2:10 within the prophet's extended marriage metaphor. God threatens to 'uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,' exposing Israel's spiritual adultery publicly. The term suggests not just isolated acts but an ongoing state of shamelessness—a character quality of immodest boldness in idolatry. The prophet combines sexual vocabulary with covenant theology, making Israel's worship of other gods a form of brazen infidelity that will be publicly humiliated.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Lewdness or shamelessness—specifically Israel's brazen idolatry portrayed as sexual immodesty. Hosea 2:10 threatens exposure: 'I will uncover her נַבְלוּתָהּ (her lewdness) before her lovers.' The suffix marks this as Israel's own characteristic quality, not a one-time act. The term appears in context with other sexual/exposure language, creating a sustained metaphor of covenant unfaithfulness as adultery. Spanish 'su-vergüenza' (her shame) and French 'impudicité' (immodesty) both catch the moral-sexual dimension. This is persistent shamelessness, a settled disposition of immodest spiritual adultery that will be publicly revealed for what it is. 1×
