The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 7:5

A like diversity of exposition is found in connection with Hosea 7:5 , at least it, first clause. 1. There is (a) the object of this verb; while, (b) according to the usual rendering, it is the accusative of time, equivalent to ביוֹם ; others again (c) take the word as a nominative absolute, or translate the clause as an independent one; thus Simson: "It is the day of our king." 2. Again, חֲמַח st. construct of חֵמָה , from the root חמם or יחם , (for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 7:6

For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. Their heart is the oven, as the comparison here teaches us; the fire by which it is inflamed is the fire of sinful passion, and the fuel that feeds the flame is the murderous machination on which they are at present so intent; the baker is either the original contrivers and prompters of their wickedness, or their own wicked spirit, or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 7:6

This verse, Wunsche thinks, is probably the most difficult in the whole book. 1. The translation of the first clause in the Authorized Version is susceptible of a more literal and improved rendering. 2. In the second clause which Keil translates in the same sense as read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 7:5

In the day of our king, the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine - (Or, “with heat from wine.”) Their holydays, like those of so many Englishmen now, were days of excess. “The day of their king” was probably some civil festival; his birthday, or his coronation-day. The prophet owns the king, in that he calls him “our king;” he does not blame them for keeping the day, but for the way in which they kept it. Their festival they turned into an irreligious and anti-religious carousal;... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 7:6

For they have made ready their heart like an oven - He gives the reason old their bursting out into open mischief; it was ever stored up within. They “made ready,” (literally, “brought near”) “their heart.” Their heart was ever brought near to sin, even while the occasion was removed at a distance from it. “The “oven” is their heart; the fuel, their corrupt affections, and inclinations, and evil concupiscence, with which it is filled; “their baker,” their own evil will and imagination, which... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 7:5-7

Hosea 7:5-7. In the day of our king Probably the anniversary of his birth, or coronation; the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine Or, when the princes began to be hot with wine, (so Newcome,) he stretched out his hand with scorners Deriders of God and man. Some recent and notorious act of contempt to God, or to his prophets, or to public justice, is here alluded to. “Those,” says Bishop Horsley, “who in their cups made a jest of the true religion, and derided the... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 7:1-7

Treachery, robbery and murder (6:7-7:7)Priests and common citizens alike are guilty of treachery, robbery and murder. Hosea again names the places where they have practised these evils. He announces that the people, along with all their religious ceremonies and sacrifices, are repulsive to God (7-10). God wants to give blessings to his people, but they prevent such blessings because they refuse to repent. They prefer to continue with their cheating, stealing and violence (11-7:2).The death of... read more

Owing to the similarity in pronunciation and in the ancient form of Ayin ( ') and Aleph ('). these letters were interchanged. The Massorah contains lists of words where Aleph (= ') stands for Ayin (= ') and vice versa (see Ginsburg's Massorah, letter, vol. i, p. 57, 514; and letter, vol. ii, p. 390, 352, 360, &c).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 7:5

"On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers."Again, the text here is uncertain; but the broad meaning is clear enough. On some festival day, perhaps the king's birthday, or some other notable occasion, even the princes of the realm drank themselves into a state of insensibility; and the king himself "stretched out his hand with scoffers." Here are a few of the ways in which translators have rendered this clause:He joins... read more
