Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 9:7-10

For their further awakening, it is here threatened, I. That the destruction spoken of shall come speedily. They shall have no reason to hope for a long reprieve, for the judgment slumbers not; it is at the door (Hos. 9:7): The days of visitation have come, and there shall be no more delay; the days of recompence have come, which they have been so often warned to expect; their prophets have told them that destruction would come, and now it has come, and the time of the divine patience has... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 9:11-17

In the foregoing verses we saw the s 38ba in of Israel derived from their fathers; here we see the punishment of Israel derived to their children; for, as death entered by sin at first, so it is still entailed with it. We may observe, in these verses, I. The sin of Ephraim. Some expressions are here which describe that. 1. They did not hearken to God (Hos. 9:17); they did not give attention to the voice either of his word or of his rod; they did not believe what he said, nor would they be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 9:10

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness ,.... Not Jacob or Israel personally, with the few souls that went down with him into Egypt; for these died in Egypt, and never returned from thence, or came into the wilderness to be found; nor Israel in a spiritual sense, the objects of electing, redeeming, and calling grace; though it may be accommodated to them, who in their nature state are as in a wilderness, in a forlorn, hopeless, helpless, and uncomfortable condition; in which the Lord... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 9:11

As for Ephraim, their glory shall flee away like a bird ,.... That is, suddenly, swiftly, and irrecoverably, and never return more; which some understand of God their glory, and of his departure from them, as in Hosea 9:12 ; others of their wealth and riches, and whatever was glorious and valuable among them, which should fly away from them in a moment, when taken and carried captive; rather their numerous posterity, in which they were very fruitful, according to their name, and in which... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:10

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness - While they were faithful, they were as acceptable to me as ripe grapes would be to a thirsty traveler in the desert. I saw your fathers - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Samuel, etc. As the first ripe - Those grapes, whose bud having come first, and being exposed most to the sun, have been the first ripe upon the tree; which tree was now in the vigor of youth, and bore fruit for the first time. A metaphor of the rising... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:11

Their glory shall fly away - It shall suddenly spring away from them, and return no more. From the birth - "So that there shall be no birth, no carrying in the womb, no conception." - Newcome. They shall cease to glory in their numbers; for no children shall be born, no woman shall be pregnant, for none shall conceive. Here judgment blasts the very germs of population. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:10

Verse 10 In this verse God reproves the Israelites for having preferred to prostitute themselves to idols, rather than to continue under his protection, though he had from the beginning showed his favour to them; as though he had said that they having been previously favoured with his free love, had transferred their affections to others; for he says, that he had found them as grapes in the wilderness. The word wilderness, ought to be joined with grapes, as if he had said, that they had been as... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:11

Verse 11 The Hebrews, we know, have often abrupt sentences as in this place, Ephraim! their glory has fled Ephraim is to be placed by itself; and the speech seems striking, when the Lord thus breaks off the sentence, Ephraim! he does not continue the sense, but immediately adds, Like a bird their glory has fled. When he speaks of Ephraim, he no doubt refers especially to his offspring; and by mentioning a part for the whole, he includes whatever was then deemed to be wealth, or glory, or power.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:9-10

Gibeah and Baal-peor. From this point the mind of the prophet reverts largely to the past. He sees mirrored in it both God's love and the people's sins. Allusion is made Lore to God's early love for Israel, and to the sins of Gibeah and Baal-peor. I. THE EVIL OF SIN IS SEEN BY COMPARISON WITH FORMER SINS , THE HEINOUSNESS OF WHICH ALL ADMIT . Two such outstanding sins of the past were those of Gibeah, and, at a still earlier period, of Baal-peor. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:10

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig tree at her first time. Grapes and first figs are among the choicest and most refreshing fruits; but to find such delicious fruits in a dry, barren wilderness is specially grateful and delightful. There are three possible constructions of bammidhbor : According to the first, which, on the whole, seems preferable, the meaning is, "I found Israel of old as a man finds grapes in a desert;" and the... read more
