Abarbanel on Hosea
The prophet Hosea here is teaching how the reprentence is done. First, "take for yourself words" meaning you don't need sacrifices only words. And these words are that you confess befor G-d and return to Him. And say to Him "You forgive iniquity and take good". The meaning of this according to commentaries is that the opposite of the words "all sin you forgive". And in my opinion, they are saying here that one doesn't ask forgiveness for an unintentional sin as it says "as for the unintentional sins who understands them?" but the intentional sin you do need to ask that it be waved. This is the meaning of "He who forgives inquities." Meaning iniquities, not unintentional sins. And in it's place "take good". What is this good? Eiither it is as mitzvah that you do and "offer" up in the place of coews. Or it's a hint to the cows that they served and in it's place they will return and seek forgiveness. And it's possible to explain "take good" meaning to have recogntion and gratitude towards Gds like David Hamelech says "It is good to praise Gd" (Psalms 92:2)

Rashi on Hosea
and teach [us the] good [way] Heb. וְקַח-טוֹב. And teach us the good way. Another explanation: The few good deeds in our hands take in Your hand and judge us accordingly. And so does David say (Psalms 17:2): “Let my sentence come forth from before You, may Your eyes behold the right.” Another explanation: And accept good And accept confession from us, as it is said (Psalms 92:2): “It is good to confess to the Lord.”
