The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:10-11

God's goodness met with ingratitude by a sinful people. Instead of repenting of their sins, they persevered in their rebellion against God. As if God overlooked or connived at their enormities, they added their deep corruption in the matter of Gibeah, in the days of the judges, to the iniquity of Baal-peor at a still earlier period; while the sins of Gibeah and Baal-peor were equaled by those of the prophet's own day.

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:10-17

Bereavement, barrenness, and banishment. Here the prophet ( Hosea 9:10 ) finds a background for his picture of the final distress and captivity of Ephraim, by contrasting therewith the fair promise of prosperity and usefulness which the Hebrew nation had shown during its infancy. The body of the strophe—uttered by Hosea with intense emotion—is full of lamentations and mourning and woe (verses 11-16). And the closing words (verse 17) summarize in one brief and pregnant sentence the burden... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:11-14

Having referred to the most flagrant instances of Israel's transgressions in the past—Gibeah in the time of the judges, Baal-peor at a still earlier period even in the days of Moses, and having merely indicated the parallel between their present sin and previous enormities, the prophet proceeds to denounce the punishments deserved and ready to descend upon them. As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception. The greatest... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:11-17

Ephraim's woe. "Woe also to them when I depart kern them" ( Hosea 9:12 ). It is this thought of woe as the result of God departing from Ephraim—"hating them," "loving them no more" ( Hosea 9:15 )—which is the key-note of the passage. The prophet compares the ideal which God set up for Ephraim—fruitfulness, Tyre-like pleasantness of situation, settled habitation in Canaan—with the miserable end now awaiting the people. His mind dwells with a sort of fixity of horror on the bringing forth... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 9:10

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness - God is not said to find anything, as though “He” had lost it, or knew not where it was, or came suddenly upon it, not expecting it. “They” were lost, as relates to Him, when they were found by Him. As our Lord says of the returned prodigal, “This my son was lost and is found” Luke 15:32. He “found” them and made them pleasant in His own sight, “as grapes which a man finds unexpectedly, in “a great terrible wilderness of fiery serpents and drought”... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 9:11

As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away, like a bird - Ephraim had parted with God, his true Glory. In turn, God would quickly take from him all created glory, all which he counted glory, or in which he gloried. When man parts with the substance, his true honor, God takes away the shadow, lest he should content himself therewith, and not see his shame, and, boasting himself to be something, abide in his nothingness and poverty and shame to which he had reduced himself. “Fruitfulness,” and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 9:10

Hosea 9:10. I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness The sense is, as the traveller, passing through the deserts of Arabia, is greatly delighted if he happen to find in his way vines bearing grapes, so was Israel anciently delighted in by God. This relates particularly to their first entering into covenant with God, and their promises of ready obedience: see Exodus 19:8; Exodus 24:3; Deuteronomy 5:27-29. I saw your fathers Whom I brought out of Egypt; as the first ripe in the... read more

Hosea 9:11-13. As for Ephraim, or, Ephraim! their glory shall fly away like a bird What they make their boast of so much shall depart from them. The fruitfulness of their women seems to be the thing here spoken of. From the birth Their children shall die soon after they are born; from the womb They shall be untimely births, or abortions; and from the conception They shall not even be conceived as they were wont to be. Dr. Wheeler renders this clause, They shall not bring forth, nor... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 9:1-17

9:1-13:16 ISRAEL’S PUNISHMENTPunishments to fit the sins (9:1-17)Baal worship and its accompanying immoral rituals were aimed at increasing the produce from farms and vineyards. As a punishment God will destroy the farms and vineyards and send the people into captivity. There they will be forced to eat food that to them is unclean (9:1-3). They will not be able to offer the usual food and wine offerings; in fact, they will barely have enough to keep themselves alive. Meanwhile the land in which... read more
