Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 9:7

Israel was to know that the days of her punishment and retribution were imminent because the nation’s iniquity was fat and its hostility to the Lord was great. Another reason for her judgment was that the Israelites had regarded the prophets whom the Lord had sent to them as demented fools (cf. 2 Kings 9:11; Jeremiah 29:26-27). This probably included Hosea."The prophet represents Yahweh as saying that the captivity was a payment for the sin of the nation. One of the primary themes of this... 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 9:7

(7) The latter part of the verse should be translated Crazed is the prophet, mad the inspired one, because of the multitude of thy iniquity, while persecution is increased. The prophet is crazed either in the depraved public opinion that Hosea scornfully describes, or, he is driven mad, distracted, by the persecutions to which he is subjected. The latter is more probable. (Comp. the following verse.) Other commentators, including Maurer and Hitzig (preceded by Jerome and many Jewish as well as... read more

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

Geneva Study Bible - Hosea 9:7

9:7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know [it]: {h} the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.(h) Then they will know that they were deluded by those who claimed themselves to be their prophets and spiritual men. 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
