何西阿书 7:15 CUNPSS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 7:8-16

Alliances with other nations (7:8-16)Israel is useless, like a cake that is burnt on one side but uncooked on the other. It has ruined itself by relying too much on other nations and too little on God. As a result Israel has, without realizing it, come under the power of these nations. God has allowed this to happen as a punishment on his people, but because of their arrogance they refuse to acknowledge the fact and will not return to God (8-10). Foolishly they make alliances, first with one... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 7:15

"Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise mischief against me."It was a part of the divine plan for God to make Israel strong that they might be able to exist despite the hatred of their enemies; and this verse is a reference to the countless occasions when God had intervened upon their behalf. For example, when the army of Pharaoh was overwhelmed in the Red Sea, it occasioned the arming of Israel with the very weapons that the Egyptians had sought to employ against... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hosea 7:15

15. I . . . bound—when I saw their arms as it were relaxed with various disasters, I bound them so as to strengthen their sinews; image from surgery [CALVIN]. MAURER translates, "I instructed them" to war (Psalms 18:34; Psalms 144:1), namely, under Jeroboam II (2 Kings 14:25). GROTIUS explains, "Whether I chastised them (Margin) or strengthened their arms, they imagined mischief against Me." English Version is best. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 7:15

It was Yahweh who had taught His people how to be strong. He had also made them strong militarily (cf. Ezekiel 30:24-25), for example, during Jeroboam II’s reign (cf. 2 Kings 14:25-28). Yet they had used what He had given them to sin against Him (cf. Genesis 50:20). They treated Him as their enemy. This was further evidence of their ingratitude. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 7:1-16

Corruption of the CourtIn this chapter the tone again becomes despondent. How can Israel be saved when her iniquity is so deep, so glaring, so obstinate? Samaria is especially instanced as the centre of a wicked and corrupt government sustained by a lawless people and false teachers. Hosea dwells chiefly on some plot which ended in regicide and the reliance on foreign powers which meant want of faith in God.2. They fail to realise how patent in God’s sight their iniquity is, while they attempt... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hosea 7:15

(15) Bound.—Should be instructed. God has imparted skill and power to fight their enemies. (Comp. Psalms 144:1.) So the grace of the Spirit is often slighted by its recipients. read more

THE THICK NIGHT OF ISRAELHosea 4:1-19; Hosea 5:1-15; Hosea 6:1-11; Hosea 7:1-16; Hosea 8:1-14; Hosea 9:1-17; Hosea 10:1-15; Hosea 11:1-12; Hosea 12:1-14; Hosea 13:1-16; Hosea 14:1-9It was indeed a "thick night" into which this Arthur of Israel stepped from his shattered home. The mists drive across Hosea’s long agony with his people, and what we see, we see blurred and broken. There are stumbling and clashing; crowds in drift; confused rallies; gangs of assassins breaking across the highways;... read more
