ホセア書 2:22-23 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 2:14-23

The state of Israel ruined by their own sin did not look so black and dismal in the former part of the chapter, but that the state of Israel, restrained by the divine grace, looks as bright and pleasant here in the latter part of the chapter, and the more surprisingly so as the promises follow thus close upon the threatenings; nay, which is very strange, they are by a note of connexion joined to, and inferred from, that declaration of their sinfulness upon which the threatenings of their ruin... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 2:22

And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil ,.... Or "answer" here the corn, and vines, and olive trees, are represented as requesting the earth to be let into it, and receive moisture from it, that they may grow and increase, and bring forth fruit; by which may be meant the fruits and graces of the Spirit, and all spiritual gifts, communicated by means of the word and ordinances; or the fruits brought forth by the church, under the ministry of the word; which serves like... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 2:23

And I will sow her unto me in the earth ,.... That is, Jezreel, or the people of God, the church betrothed; this is another blessing following upon the marriage relation between Christ and his people, both Jews and Gentiles, in the latter day, a multiplication of a spiritual seed and offspring. So Kimchi and Aben Ezra observe, that the words signify that the people of Israel shall increase and be fruitful as the seed of the earth. These now are good seed which the Lord sows; such as are born... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 2:22

Shall hear the corn, and the wine - When they seem to express a desire to supply the wants of man. And they shall hear Jezreel - The destitute people who are in want of the necessaries of life. This most elegant gradation in the exertion of the influences of nature, for the supply of the wants of man, may be considered thus: - There is a concord, harmony, and mutual influence, which God has established in the parts of created nature, in reference to the support and preservation of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 2:23

I will sow her - Alluding to the import of the name Jezreel, the seed of God. Then shall it appear that God has shown mercy to them that had not obtained mercy. Then the covenant of God will be renewed; for he will call them his people who were not his people; and they shall call Jehovah their God, who before had him not for the object of their worship. It does not appear that these promises have had their fulfillment among the Jews. They must either be understood of the blessings... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 2:22

Verse 22 The Prophet used the word, Jezreel, before in a bad sense; for his purpose was to reproach the Israelites with their unfaithfulness: when they boasted of being the seed of Abraham, and always claimed that honorable and noble distinction, the Lord said, ‘Ye are Jezreel, and not Israel.’ It may be that the Prophet wished to show again what they deserved; but he teaches, at the same time, that God would by no means be prevented from showing kindness to the unworthy when reconciled to him.... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 2:23

Verse 23 The Prophet here takes the occasion to speak of the increase of the people. He had promised a fruitful and large increase of corn, and wine, and oil; but for what end would this be, except the land had numerous inhabitants? It was hence needful to make this addition. Besides, the Prophet had said before, ‘Though ye be immense in number, yet a remnant only shall be preserved.’ He now sets God’s new favor in opposition to his vengeance, and says, that God will again sow the people. From... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 2:14-23

Sympathy with Israel in spite of their sins. The laken which introduces Hosea 2:14 is rendered by some " notwithstanding, " and this is what we might expect; but it is opposed by linguistic usage. We muse adhere to the ordinary translation, which is "therefore." The word thus translated tends to exalt our idea of God's goodness. Israel had sinned and forgotten God; the "therefore" we would expect, and the inference we would draw is God ' s final and forever abandonment of such a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 2:18-23

The new betrothal Jehovah, on his part, signs, as it were, a new marriage contract with Israel. The relation will this time be an enduring one. He will grant to Israel security and peace. He will restore her blessings. He will dower her with fresh gifts. He will increase her fruitfulness. The promises may be legitimately extended to all the Israel of faith. I. SECURITY AND PEACE IN THE NEW RELATION . ( Hosea 2:18 ) 1. The new covenant will be, not merely a covenant of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 2:21-22

The golden chain of causation. This promise is a parable in miniature, and has been much admired for its poetic beauty. It completes the prophetic picture of Israel's restoration in the Messianic era. Doubtless, also, it refers in its fullness of meaning, not merely to Israel after the flesh, but to the entire Christian Church during the time of the latter-day glory. I. JEHOVAH IS THE FIRST CAUSE OF ALL THINGS . "I will hear, saith the Lord." According to Scripture, from... read more
