John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:1-15

Denunciations and EntreatiesThis prophecy appears to have been uttered at a later date than the last. There is no longer any mention of Egypt, but the calamity from Assyria seems imminent. Again Hosea urges them to repent while there is time, and again gives way to despair.1. Empty] RV ’luxuriant,’ with reference to the prosperity of Israel.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hosea 10:10

(10) Translate (see Margin; so Jerome), When I desire, I will chastise them, and peoples shall be gathered against them, when I chastise them for their two iniquities (i.e., the two calves which had been the source of heresy and treason against Jehovah). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hosea 10:11

(11) Heifer.—Translate, Ephraim is a trained heifer, which loves to thresh. Here the idea may be that Ephraim loves the easy and free work of treading out the corn, and so becomes fat and sleek; or the act of treading and threshing may point to the rough treatment which Ephraim has in her pride dealt out to her neighbours and enemies. But the former interpretation is more probable. The verse should continue to read thus:—And I passed by the fairness of her neck (to arrest her self-indulgence).... read more

5. ONCE MORE: PUPPET-KINGS AND PUPPET-GODSHosea 10:1-15For another section, the tenth chapter, the prophet returns to the twin targets of his scorn: the idols and the puppet-kings. But few notes are needed. Observe the reiterated connection between the fertility of the land and the idolatry of the people."A wanton vine is Israel; he lavishes his fruit; the more his fruit, the more he made his altars; the goodlier his land, the more goodly he made his macceboth, or sacred pillars. False is the... read more

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.

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hosea 10:1-15

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
