The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:1-9

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 9:6

For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them. Their future exile was seen in prophetic vision; and in consequence and because of its certainty he speaks of it as having already taken place. The destruction is the desolation and wasting of their native land, because of which, or away from which and leaving it behind, they are gone. The land of their banishment was the land of their bondage. There, far from the land of their birth, they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:7

The sin of desiring God's prophets. Every preacher of righteousness has to endure now and again the misunderstanding or the misrepresentation of some of those whom he addresses in the Name of the Lord. It is not to be desired that all men should speak well of him. The servant is not above his Master, and no calumny was too base, no blasphemy too enormous, for the enemies of Jesus to assail him with. I. THE PREACHES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OFTEN MEETS WITH SLIGHT AND WITH ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:7

Charge against religious ministers. "The prophet is a fool, and the spiritual man is mad." What the prophet means here seems to be this—that when the predicted retribution had come Israel would learn that the prosperity which some of the prophets had predicted ( Ezekiel 13:10 ) proved them infatuated fools. Although some render the expression, "the spiritual man is mad," a mad man the man of spirit, the man of the spirit is frantic, the idea seems to be the same as that conveyed in our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:7-8

The true and the false prophet. Accepting the Authorized Version here as substantially correct, we interpret these verses as referring to both classes. Hosea 9:7 makes mention, in a parenthesis, of the false prophet. The first clause of Hosea 9:8 refers to the true prophet; and the remainder of the verse contrasts the character of the false prophet with his. The theme thus suggested is an instructive and profitable one. I. THE TRUE AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE OFTEN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:7-8

Prophet and prophet. We are disposed to prefer the view which takes Hosea 9:7 to refer to the true prophet, Hosea himself; and verse 8 to the prophets Ephraim had set up for himself alongside of the true.—"Ephraim is a watcher with along with, but independently of my God"—prophets who were as "the snare of a fowler" to the people. I. THE TRUE PROPHET . (Verse 7) 1. What he saw . "The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come." The true prophet saw, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:7-9

These verses describe the season and source of punishment. The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come. Commentators have appropriately compared the Vergilian " Venit summa dies, et irreluctabile tempus ," equivalent to" The final day and inevitable hour is come." Israel shall know (it): the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad . Here the prophet and the man of the spirit (margin) are In confirmation of (a) that of Israel against their fellow-men, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:7-9

There is no joy, any more than peace, to the sinner. However men put away from them the evil day, they can neither stave it off altogether nor delay its coming. I. THE CERTAINTY OF THE DIVINE JUDGMENTS OVERTAKING SINNERS . In the previous verse the prophetic past is used, to intimate that, though the event predicted had not yet taken place, yet was it as sure of accomplishment as if it had already occurred. Here the words "are come" are repeated to apprise sinners of its... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 9:6

For lo, they are gone because of destruction - They had fled, for fear of destruction, to destruction. For fear of the destruction from Assyria, they were fled away and gone to Egypt, hoping, doubtless, to find there some temporary refuge, until the Assyrian invasion should have swept by. But, as befalls those who flee from God, they fell into more certain destruction.Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them - They had fled singly, in making their escape from the Assyrian. Egypt... read more
