何西阿書 14:4 RCUVTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 14:4

I will heal their backsliding - God, in answer, promises to “heal” that wound of their souls, from where every other evil came, their fickleness and unsteadfastness. Hitherto, this had been the characteristic of Israel. “Within a while they forgat His works, and would not abide His counsels” Psalms 106:13. “They forgat what He had done. Their heart was not whole with Him; neither continued they steadfast in His covenant. They turned back and tempted God. They kept not His testimonies, but... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 14:4

Hosea 14:4. I will heal their backsliding I will deliver them from a backsliding heart and way, and remove those judgments they have brought upon themselves thereby. The Lord says, I will heal, &c., a usual metaphor in Scripture, because sin is our disease, and God is the physician who healeth us, Psalms 103:3; Jeremiah 3:22; and he doth it through Christ, in whom this promise is made to returning backsliders. God makes this promise to the Israelites by his prophet, to encourage... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 14:1-9

14:1-9 GOD’S FORGIVING LOVEGod loves Israel in spite of its sin and rebellion, and he still desires the people’s repentance rather than their destruction. He even gives them the words of confession to use in asking his forgiveness. In this prayer they acknowledge their sin, and promise that they will no longer look to foreign nations for help. They will not worship man-made gods, but will trust entirely in God and his mercy (14:1-3).If they repent, God in his love will give them a spirit of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 14:4

"I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him."The reference here is to the rich mine of spiritual benefit for the devoted Christian who has access to the Father "in Christ," who through repentance and prayer may be forgiven of every sin, who if he walks in the light "as he is in the light," is continually cleansed by the blood of Christ, who has an advocate with the Father, who enjoys the earnest of the Holy Spirit within himself, and for whom... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 14:4

Hosea 14:4. Freely— Are good works then nothing, you will say? "Is there no place at all for them in the doctrine of repentance? I answer, that hitherto the discourse hath been about remission of sins, and the gift of the Holy Ghost. These are entirely gratuitous, and not of our merit, but simply of the inexhaustible goodness and compassion of God. Therefore, when we speak of the remission of sins, it is right to be silent about our own works; which, because they are done without the Holy... read more

B. Restoration in spite of unfaithfulness 14:1-8As usual in the major sections of Hosea, promises of restoration follow announcements of judgment. This final section of restoration promises begins with an appeal for repentance and closes with the prospect of full and complete restoration."In beauty of expression these final words of Hosea rank with the memorable chapters of the OT. Like the rainbow after a storm, they promise Israel’s final restoration. Here is the full flowering of God’s... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 14:4

When Israel repented, the Lord promised to heal the apostasy of the Israelites that had become a fatal sickness for them (cf. Hosea 6:1). He also promised to bestow His love on them generously because then He would no longer be angry with them."When a person collapses with sickness, it’s usually the result of a process that’s been working in the body for weeks or months. First an infection gets into the system and begins to grow. The person experiences weariness and loss of appetite, then... read more
