Hosea 2:8

For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.

Hosea's charge belongs to his message to the northern kingdom predicting the coming captivity of the tribes, warning against alliance with Egypt and other wicked alliances. That message exposes sad moral conditions and national degeneration and decay, including the gross iniquity of priests and princes, and uses his own painful personal history to symbolize Jehovah's separation from His people. Hosea, whose name means salvation, was the last of the great prophets of the kingdom of Israel writing about 750 B.C., and his prophecy is full of hopeful remonstrance, tender expostulation, and earnest entreaty, with prophecy of the future.

In Hosea 2 Israel's backsliding, idolatry, and conformity to the world are spiritual adultery, and attempting to mix devotion to God with sin is adultery against God. She did not know or recognize that God gave her corn or grain, wine, oil, silver and gold, but she used those gifts without acknowledging their source in the worship of Baal. That truth applies to material wealth generally: crops, livestock, merchandise, precious metals, and other provisions belong to the Lord.

God gives people the ability to obtain wealth. Knowing that God gives what is possessed should lead to sharing it with others. The verse marks Israel's captivity in Babylon as the beginning of her travailing for the Desire of All Nations, her Son and Deliverer, placing this expectation within the church's history of backsliding and captivity.
