Expositor's Bible Commentary - Hosea 9:10-17

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Hosea 9:10-17

CHAPTER 9:10-11:11 Retrospect, Israel’s Failure and Ruin 1. Israel once beloved, now fugitive wanderers (Hosea 9:10-17 ) 2. Their guilt and punishment (Hosea 10:1-11 ) 3. Exhortation and rebuke (Hosea 10:12-15 ) 4. The mercy of a merciful God (Hosea 11:1-11 ) Hosea 9:10-17 . Like a wayfaring man who finds grapes and figs in the desert and delights in them, so the Lord found Israel in the desert and they were His pleasure when He led them out of Egypt. But they requited His love by... read more

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

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hosea 9:14-17

There is the same strain in this part of the Prophet's discourse as in the former: and the whole sum and substance of the sermon, is the Lord's grace and Israel's unworthiness. But I hope the Reader will not fail, under the teaching of God the Holy Ghost, to discover that the chastisements of the Lord here spoken of, are the chastisements of a friend; and all that is here spoken by the Lord, in reference to punishment, is with the view of sanctifying his dispensations to his glory, and Israel's... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hosea 9:17

REFLECTIONS BLESSED Emanuel! how can I fail to behold thee, in this Chapter, under the endearing character of the Husband of thy Church; while hearing my Lord thus expostulating with his Israel of old, for their whoredoms and fornications! Indeed, indeed, precious Jesus! thou hast married our nature, in having taken that pure portion of it, which thy Father gave thee, into union with thyself. And thou hast thereby most plainly and fully proved, how great and unequalled the love thou hast fixed... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:11-17

11-17. God departs from a people, or from a person, when he withdraws his goodness and mercy from them; and when the Lord is departed, what can the creature do? Even though, for the present, good things seem to remain, yet the blessing is gone if God is gone. Even the children should perish with the parents. The Divine wrath dries up the root, and withers the fruit of all comforts; and the scattered Jews daily warn us to beware, lest we neglect or abuse the gospel. Yet every smiting is not a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hosea 9:10-17

The Corruption of Israel and its Consequences v. 10. I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness, at the time when Jehovah chose them as His people and led them forth from the land of bondage; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at her first time, the description being expressive of the high regard in which the Lord held them at that time; but they went to Baal-peor, as related in Numbers 25, and separated themselves unto that shame, being led astray with the greatest ease... read more

B. The carrying away into Assyria. Decrease of the PeopleHosea 9:1-171 Rejoice not,1 Israel,Unto exultation, like the heathen,For thou hast committed whoredom, departing from thy God,Thou hast loved the reward of whoredom,On all corn-floors.2 The threshing-floor and the (oil-) press will not nourish them,2And the new wine will deceive them.3 They will not remain in the land of Jehovah,But Ephraim will return to Egypt,And in Assyria he will eat (things) unclean.4 They will not pour out wine for... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hosea 9:10-17

“Wanderers among the Nations” Hosea 9:10-17 At the Exodus the love and thanks of Israel were as delightful to God as grapes in the desert or as the first ripe figs. But they gave themselves up to the idols of the heathen, and soon became as abominable as the impure gods which they chose. The prophet does not hesitate to speak plainly of the effects of the awful license of that age. He says that a nation which sins as Israel had sinned must, in the very nature of things, cease to exist. The... read more
