ホセア書 9:1-4 JC

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:3

Verse 3 The Prophet proclaims here a heavier punishment — that the Lord would drive them into exile. It was indeed a dreadful repudiation, when they were deprived of the land of Canaan, which was the Lord’s rest, as it is called in the Psalms, (Psalms 132:14.) While they dwelt in the land of Canaan, they lived as it were in the habitations of God, and could have a sure hope that he would be a father to them: but when they were thence expelled, the Lord testified that he regarded them as aliens;... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:4

Verse 4 It is uncertain whether the Prophet testifies here, that they should lose their labour and their oil (as they say) when they sacrificed to God; or whether he declares what would be the case when they had been driven into exile. Both views seem probable. Now, if we refer the words of the Prophet to the time of exile, they seem not unsuitable, They shall not then pour out wine to Jehovah, and their sacrifices shall not be acceptable to him; no oblation shall come any more to the temple of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:1

Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people. The occasion on which the prophet penned this section was so no idolatrous merry-making in connection with harvest, and not any change of political situation. For thou hast gone a-whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:1-6

Sin is the cause of sorrow and the source of sadness The merrymaking of wicked people is often both hollow and heartless; it is always without true ground or real cause; while the laughter of fools is like the crackling of thorns under a pot. The people of Israel were jubilant at the time referred to. The reason of their jubilation does not distinctly appear. It may have arisen from some losses having been retrieved, or some advantages gained, or some successes achieved, or some useful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:1-6

The Lord's land for the Lord's people. This chapter may fall in the interval between the Assyrian invasions of B.C. 743-738, and the invasions ending in the overthrow of Pekah, B.C. 734-730 (cf. 2 Kings 15:29 , 2 Kings 15:30 ; 2 Chronicles 28:16-21 , and Assyrian monuments). The interval seems to have been one of revived prosperity ( 2 Chronicles 28:6-15 ). I. ABUSED GOODNESS . ( Hosea 9:1 , Hosea 9:2 ) 1. A glimpse of prosperity .

The Assyrian captivity. Israel had courted the favor of Assyria; but the result would be her absorption and destruction as a nation. In this and the succeeding chapter, notwithstanding acknowledged difficulties of interpretation, the distresses of the Exile are depicted with telling effect. I. THE PROPHET 'S INTERDICT AGAINST ISRAEL . ( Hosea 9:1 ) Hosea, as it were, appears suddenly among the people when they are preparing to hold some joyous festival, and sternly forbids it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:2

The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her. Thus Israel was not to enjoy the blessings of the harvest; the corn and oil and new wine, or corn and wine, would not prove as abundant as they expected or plenty would be succeeded by scarcity; or, rather, the people would be prevented enjoying the abundant produce of their land in consequence of being carried away captive to Assyria, as seems implied in the following verse. The floor and press—whether... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:3

They shall not dwell in the Lord's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. The Lord's land was Canaan, which Jehovah chose to dwell there by visible symbol of the Shechinah-glory, and which he gave to Israel as his people. Israel expected to have it for a permanent place of abode, but that hope was frustrated by their sin. The remaining clauses of the verse may be understood either read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:3

The Lord's land. Canaan was a land very dear to the Hebrew heart. Few things could cause the children of Israel deeper grief than the prospect of exile and banishment. When absent from their native and sacred soil, their thoughts were with the fair hills and fertile valleys of Palestine, its fenced cities, and above all its metropolis, the center of religious worship and sacrifice. Accordingly the heart of Christendom has ever regarded "the holy land" as the symbol of spiritual privilege and... read more
