何西阿书 9:14 RCUVSS

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 9:14

"Give them, O Jehovah ... what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts."This verse begins as if it were to be an intercession for Israel; but it is interrupted with the invocation of another curse. "There comes a time, when the only thing left is drastic surgery."[25]Hosea 9:11-14 "are all concerned with the same prophecy of Israel's dried-up strength among the nations. In the last analysis, the future of any people is related to its birth-rate; and any failure in that is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 9:14

Hosea 9:14. Give them a miscarrying womb— As a punishment for having inhumanly exposed their infants to death, by sacrificing them to their false gods; or, for having exposed them to the cruelty of the Assyrians, who destroyed them in war. The present passage is strikingly emphatical. But it is to be considered rather as a prediction of what was to happen as a punishment of their crimes, than as an imprecation. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hosea 9:14

14. what wilt thou give?—As if overwhelmed by feeling, he deliberates with God what is most desirable. give . . . a miscarrying womb—Of two evils he chooses the least. So great will be the calamity, that barrenness will be a blessing, though usually counted a great misfortune (Job 3:3; Jeremiah 20:14; Luke 23:29). read more

Diminished fruitfulness 9:10-14"The gloomy, foreboding atmosphere of Hosea 9:1-9 changes now to one of pathos. The words here are at once tender and loving." [Note: McComiskey, p. 148.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 9:10-17

Israel’s humiliation 9:10-17This section is one in a series that looks back on Israel’s previous history, and its reflective mood colors its prophecies (cf. Hosea 10:1-15; Hosea 11:1-7)."Divine speech and prophetic speech combine in this passage to pronounce upon the disobedient Israelites the fulfillment of the curses for disobedience contained in the Mosaic covenant. Here for the first time Hosea himself calls down the wrath of God upon his own compatriots (Hosea 9:14; Hosea 9:17). He is thus... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 9:14

Hosea called on Yahweh, after reflecting on her punishments, to disappoint Ephraim’s hopes concerning descendants and the inability to sustain their children. The combination of "womb" and "breasts" is a pairing that describes human fruitfulness (cf. Genesis 49:25). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:1-17

Exile is at HandThis prophecy appears to have been written in a time of rejoicing over a good harvest and vintage. Israel need not rejoice, says the prophet, with the wild joy of the heathen. Their praises to the local Baals are insults to Jehovah, whom they have denied. Their rejoicing will end in disaster, culminating in captivity either in Egypt or Assyria.1, 2. People] RV ’peoples,’ i.e. the heathen nations around. The allusion is probably to the orgies of the heathen festival. The sins of.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hosea 9:14

(14) Better universal childlessness than that the off-spring should be exposed to so terrible a fate. Compare this with our Lord’s words: “Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare,” &c. read more

4. "THE CORRUPTION THAT IS THROUGH LUST"Hosea 9:10-17 CF. Hosea 4:11-14Those who at the present time are enforcing among us the revival of a paganism-without the pagan conscience-and exalting licentiousness to the level of an art, forget how frequently the human race has attempted their experiment, with far more sincerity than they themselves can put into it, and how invariably the result has been recorded by history to be weariness, decay, and death. On this occasion we have the story told to... read more
