Yahweh is speaking.

# what will I do with you?

|
|

God is expressing that his patience is coming to an end and what remains is judgment. AT: "it is hard to know what to do with you!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# So I have cut them to pieces by the prophets
|
|
|
|
Through his prophets, Yahweh has pronounced destruction on the rebellious nation. The destruction, here called "cutting to pieces," is as sure as the condemnation. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# Your decrees are like the light that shines out
|
|
|
|
Here the prophet Hosea is speaking to God. He may mean that when God gives the command for someone to die as punishment, it is like a bolt of lightning that strikes. Or he may mean that God's commandments allow people to know the truth, just as light makes objects visible. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
