何西阿書 6:1 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 6:1-3

Repentance and saving knowledge. We view these verses as closely connected with the last verse of the preceding chapter. There the Lord has said that Ephraim and Judah, when they shall have been well punished for their apostasy, will at length return to him. Here, accordingly, he anticipates what they shall say to one another when they do so. "In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Come, and let us return unto the Lord." This prediction, doubtless, has already once and again... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 6:1-3

Returning to God. Affliction is represented as having at length accomplished its work. In the far country the prodigal bethinks himself of his father's house. He comes to himself. He says, "I will arise," etc. ( Luke 15:18 ). Thus shall Israel at last take with them words, and turn to the Lord ( Hosea 14:2 ). The words stand as a form for Israel to take up whenever their hearts shall turn to the Lord ( 2 Corinthians 3:16 ). I. RETURN TO GOD RESOLVED UPON . ( Hosea 6:1 )... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 6:1

Come and let us return unto the Lord - These words depend closely on the foregoing. They are words put into their mouth by God Himself, with which or with the like, they should exhort one another to return to God. Before, when God smote them, they had gone to Assyria; now they should turn to Him, owning, not only that He who “tore” has the power and the will to “heal” them, but that He tore, “in order to” heal them; He smote them, “in order to” bind them up. This closeness of connection is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 6:1

Hosea 6:1. Come, let us return, &c. Bishop Horsley considers the prophet as speaking here in his own person, to the end of the 3d verse, and taking occasion, from the intimation of pardon to the penitent, given in the conclusion of the preceding chapter, to address his countrymen in words of mild, pathetic persuasion, and to exhort them to return to the worship and service of God. But many other commentators rather think these are to be considered as the words of the repenting and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 6:1-6

Insincere repentance (6:1-6)In view of God’s warning in the previous chapter (see 5:15), the people decide to make a confession of repentance. But their confession is not sincere. They offer it to God in the hope that it will satisfy him and bring from him a speedy response. If God helps them, their future blessings are guaranteed (6:1-3).God sees that the people’s promise to return to him is nothing but words; their hearts have not changed. They have no covenant loyalty towards God, no love... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Hosea 6:1

let us return. These are the words of Israel in a yet future day, as already symbolized by the return of Gomer (Hosea 3:2 , Hosea 3:3 ), and foretold in Hosea 3:5 . See the Structure, p. 1213). This is the acknowledgment referred to in Hosea 5:15 . Deu 82:39 . the LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4 . He will heal us. Compare Jeremiah 30:17 . read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 6:1

The first three verses of this chapter record what, at first glance appears to be a bona fide appeal on the part of the people to God for their deliverance; but the sentiment of Hosea 6:4ff makes it impossible thus to understand it. As a sincere return to God, the appeal falls short in that there is no evidence or promise of repentance, no rejection of their false worship; and, as Hindley expressed it:"There is no understanding or acknowledgment of guilt; on the contrary, there are signs of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hosea 6:1

1. let us return—in order that God who has "returned to His place" may return to us ( :-). torn, and . . . heal— (Deuteronomy 32:39; Jeremiah 30:17). They ascribe their punishment not to fortune, or man, but to God, and acknowledge that none (not the Assyrian, as they once vainly thought, Hosea 5:13) but God can heal their wound. They are at the same time persuaded of the mercy of God, which persuasion is the starting-point of true repentance, and without which men would not seek, but hate and... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 6:1

The repentant Israelites would encourage each other to return to Yahweh because they believed He would heal them (as a shepherd, cf. Hosea 5:13) even though He had torn and wounded them (as a lion, cf. Hosea 5:14). They would recognize that their punishment had come from Him, not just from a foreign enemy (cf. Deuteronomy 32:39). read more
