Kabbalah su Osea 12:11
וְדִבַּ֙רְתִּי֙ עַל־הַנְּבִיאִ֔ים וְאָנֹכִ֖י חָז֣וֹן הִרְבֵּ֑יתִי וּבְיַ֥ד הַנְּבִיאִ֖ים אֲדַמֶּֽה׃
Ho anche parlato con i profeti e ho moltiplicato le visioni; E dal ministero dei profeti ho usato le similitudini.
Zohar
Also, even that similitude was a semblance of the Holy One, be blessed, not as he is in his very place which we know to be impenetrable, but as the King manifesting his might of dominion over his entire creation, and thus appearing to each one of his creatures as each can grasp him, as it is written: “And by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes” [Hos. 12:11].

Baal HaSulam's Preface to Zohar
In fact, there is an absolutely vital secret here, which is the mystical meaning of the verse “and by the ministry of the prophets have I used symbols.”39Hosea 12:11. For in fact there is a Divine will here that these symbols, which operate only in the souls of the receivers, should appear to the souls as though He Himself participates in them, in order to greatly increase the understanding of the souls. This is similar to a father who restrains himself and shows his dear little son a suffering face or a contented face, even though there is nothing of either sadness or contentment within him. He does this only to stimulate his beloved son and deepen his understanding, in order to play with him. Only when he grows up will he learn and realize that everything his father did was no more than simply playing with him.

Baal HaSulam's Preface to Zohar
Even that image, which we call the sefira of Malkhut, does not exist in the place of Malkhut relative to herself, God forbid, but only when the light of Malkhut descends upon people and expands over them.43This is a similar point to that mentioned in the previous sections. There is no objective image of Malkhut. Instead, the recipient created beings perceive Malkhut in some subjective way relative to their own predilections. This subjective perception within the mind of the created being is the meaning of the image of God that is "beholden" in the Biblical text. It then appears to them, to each and every one, according to their own perception, vision, and imagination, i.e., only with respect to the recipients and not at all in the sefira of Malkhut herself. This is the meaning of “and by the ministry of the prophets have I used symbols.”44Hosea 12:11.
