何西阿书 10:13-14 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 10:13

Ye have ploughed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies. Hitherto their course had been the very opposite of that which they are now exhorted to enter on. Hitherto their work had been wickedness, and their wages, as might be expected, the fruit of iniquity. What they had wrought for they reaped. Their plowing had been sin, their sowing wickedness, and their harvest sorrow. Wickedness against God and man was what they both ploughed and sowed; oppression at the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 10:13-15

The prolific fruits of evil. The Israelites are not only charged with neglect of duty, but with sins of commission. The concluding verses of the chapter point out this contrariety of their conduct to the foregoing exhortation, and its consequences; trace the source of their sinful courses to their carnal confidences; and foretell the coming calamities caused thereby. I. THE CONDUCT OF THE PEOPLE HAD BEEN DIRECTLY CONTRARY TO THE ADMONITION JUST GIVEN . 1. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 10:14

Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled. This was the fruit of their doings, the result of their sins. The tumult of war is already heard, and the work of destruction has begun. The word shaon, tumult, is from שָׁאָה , as applied to the loud rushing of waters, then the tumult of advancing warriors. The preposition be is rendered read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 10:13

Ye have plowed wickedness - They not only did not that which God commanded, but they did the exact contrary. They cultivated wickedness. They broke up their fallow ground, yet to sow, not wheat, but tares. They did not leave it even to grow of itself, although even thus, on the natural soil of the human heart, it yields a plenteous harvest; but they bestowed their labor on it, plowed it, sowed, and as they sowed, so they reaped, an abundant increase of it. “They brought their ill doings to a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 10:14

Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people - Literally, “peoples.” Such was the immediate fruit of departing from God and trusting in human beings and idols. They trusted in their own might, and the multitude of their people. That might should, through intestine division and anarchy, become their destruction. As in the dislocated state of the Roman empire under the first emperors, so in lsrael, the successive usurpers arose out of their armies, armies , “the multitude of their mighty... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 10:13-15

Hosea 10:13-15. Ye have ploughed wickedness Instead of working righteousness, (Hosea 10:12,) you have taken a great deal of pains in the service of sin, to compass your wicked designs. Ye have reaped iniquity Ye have, in return, received the fruit of iniquity, namely, punishment, or calamity. Ye have eaten the fruit of lies Fed yourselves with vain hopes, which have deceived and will deceive you. Or, you have trusted to that which has been only specious, not really satisfying or... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 10:1-15

Click image for full-size versionReaping what they have sown (10:1-15)The more prosperous the people of Israel become, the more they increase their worship of Baal. The more certain, therefore, is their coming judgment (10:1-2). No one can be trusted. Injustice, like a poisonous plant, is having a deadly effect. It is killing the nation. The people do not fear God, and as a result will fall under his judgment. They, along with their king and the golden calf that they worship, will be carried... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Hosea 10:13

Ye have plowed = Ye have sown. Heb, harashtem. Occurs, with this spelling, only here and Judges 14:18 . The Massorah ( App-30 and App-93 ) places it in an alphabetical list of words, occurring twice, with two different meanings (see Ginsburg's Massorah, vol. i, p. 498). It is therefore a Homonym with one meaning: ye have plowed (Judges 14:18 ); and another, ye have sown (Hosea 10:13 ). wickedness = lawlessness. Hebrew. rasha'. App-44 . trust = confide. Hebrew. batah. App-69 . way.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 10:13

"Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.""Plowed wickedness ..." is a homely metaphor indicating that Ephraim had nourished and cultivated their wicked ways. Their fundamental error was in their believing that their way of immorality, calf-worship, and rebellion would actually cause them to be better off than if they had followed in the way of the Lord. This is always the primary... read more
