This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Come forth, my people, out of her (exelthate, ho laos mou, ex autēs). Second aorist (urgency) active imperative (̇a form) of exerchomai. Like Isa 48:20; Isa 52:11; Jer 50:8; Jer 51:6, (about Babylon). See also the call of Abram (Gen 12:1). the rescue of Lot (Gen 19:12.). In the N.T. see Mar 13:4; 2Co 6:14; Eph 5:11; 1Ti 5:11. Hosea laos is vocative with the form of the nominative.

That ye have no fellowship with her sins (hina mē sunkoinōnēsēte tais hamartais autēs). Purpose clause with hina mē and the first aorist active subjunctive of sunkoinōneō, old compound (sun, together, koinōnos, partner), in N.T. only here, Phi 4:14; Eph 5:11. With associative instrumental case hamartiais.

And that ye receive not of her plagues (kai ek tōn plēgōn autēs hina mē labēte). Another purpose clause dependent on the preceding, with hina mē and the second aorist active subjunctive of lambanō, and with proleptic emphatic position of ek tōn plēgōn autēs before hina mē.
