ホセア書 9:1 JCB

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 9:1

(1) For joy.—Better, to exultation. “The harlot’s hire on every corn-floor” expresses in bold imagery the prophet’s scorn for the idolatrous corruption of the people. The bounteous yield of the harvest is called the “harlot’s hire,” which lures Jehovah’s faithless bride to worship the false deity from whose hands these gifts were supposed to come. The people’s momentary prosperity is attributed to their idols. (See Hosea 2:12; Jeremiah 44:17-19.) read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Hosea 9:1-9

3. THE EFFECTS OF EXILEHosea 9:1-9Hosea now turns to describe the effects of exile upon the social and religious habits of the people. It must break up at once the joy and the sacredness of their lives. Every pleasure will be removed, every taste offended. Indeed, even now, with their conscience of having deserted Jehovah, they cannot pretend to enjoy the feasts of the Ba’alim in the same hearty way as the heathen with whom they mix. But, whether or no, the time is near when nature-feasts and... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Hosea 9:1-9

CHAPTER 8:1-9:9 The Apostasy is Followed by Judgment 1. The judgment announced (Hosea 8:1-7 ) 2. The apostasy which resulted in judgment (Hosea 8:8-14 ) 3. Warning against self-security (Hosea 9:1-9 ) Hosea 8:1-7 . The prophet is commanded to sound the alarm of the impending judgment. The message is that the enemy will come swift as an eagle upon the house of the Lord, which here does not mean the temple (which was in connection with Judah), but Israel as the chosen people was the house,... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Hosea 9:1

9:1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, {a} as [other] people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved {b} a reward upon every cornfloor.(a) For even though all other people should escape, yet you will be punished.(b) You have committed idolatry in hope of reward, and to have your barns filled ( Jeremiah 44:17 ), as a harlot that had rather live by playing the whore, than to be provided for by her own husband. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hosea 9:1-17

JEHOVAH ’S LOVE FOR ISRAEL With Hosea begins the “Minor” prophets, extending to the close of the Old Testament, and so-called to distinguish them from the “Major,” the first four already considered. The major are the more important not as to their contents but their size; and yet the minor prophets are, in principle, only repeating what the major prophets have recorded over and over again. For this reason the minor prophets will be considered briefly. It may be repeated that we are not... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Hosea 9:1-17

The Degradation of Sin Hosea 9:0 "Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor" ( Hos 9:1 ). The footsteps of evil are tracked by the divine eye. Places, how concealed soever from the light and from public recognition, are all searched by his glance, lying nakedly and openly before him, so that he observes the things that were done in secrecy supposed to be inviolable. The picture is striking and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hosea 9:1

CONTENTS We have here the threatened visitations of the Lord upon Israel, on account of transgressions. And if we read those awful denunciations of God, and keep in remembrance their accomplishment in the Babylonish Captivity, the whole is explained to us. read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hosea 9:1-2

I beg the Reader to remark with me, how much the Prophet dwells in all his Sermons, upon that feature of character which is so lovely and gracious; I mean the Lord Jesus being the Husband of his people. Though Israel had gone a whoring from her God; and worthless, and base as this was, yet, Reader, do not overlook the Lord's grace in Israel's unworthiness. Israel could not have been charged with this crime of unfaithfulness, had not the Lord been her Husband. And while we find the Lord... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hosea 9:1

Reward, or "present." The kings took the tithe, 1 Kings viii. 15. Other infidel nations rejoice in their wealth. Israel ought not to do so; and, in punishment of idolatry, it shall be despoiled. After Jeroboam II, all went to ruin. read more
