G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hosea 8:1-14

From this statement of the case the prophet turned to the pronouncement of judgment. This he did by adopting the figure of the trumpet lifted to the mouth, on which five blasts were sounded, in each of which some aspect of the sin of the people was set forth as revealing the reason for judgment. The first blast declared the coming judgment under the figure of an eagle, the reason being the transgressions and trespass of the people. The second blast emphasized Israel's sin of rebellion in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 8:1-3

When The Enemy Descend Like An Eagle Because They Have Broken The Covenant And Cast Off What Is Good, Israel Will Cry In Vain, ‘”O God Of Israel We Know You” (Hosea 8:1-3 ). The present hopelessness of Israel’s current situation comes out strongly here. The enemy are coming against them like an eagle descending on its prey (compare Deuteronomy 28:49), and this because they have broken the covenant and disobeyed His Law. So desperate will the situation be that Israel will appeal to YHWH on the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 8:1-14

ISRAEL’S GROWING SPIRITUAL BANKRUPTCY AND DEGRADED BEHAVIOUR ARE DESCRIBED ALONG WITH THEIR RELIANCE ON IDOLS, FOREIGNERS, UNWORTHY KINGS AND THEMSELVES, AND THIS IN CONTRAST WITH YHWH’S STEADFAST LOVE FOR HIS FAILING SON (Hosea 6:4 to Hosea 11:12 ). Hosea continues to describe the condition in which Israel find themselves, and rebukes their reliance on other things than YHWH. Conditions in Israel would appear to be politically much worse, and these words were therefore probably mainly... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 8:2-3

‘To me they will cry, “O God of Israel, we know you.” Israel has cast off what is good, The enemy will pursue him. In its extremity Israel will then call out, ‘O God of Israel we know you’. They would assume that because God was their God, the God of Israel, He must listen to them in their need and respond to their call because they ‘knew His Name’. This would include the idea that they knew how to manipulate Him through the cultus and could thus persuade Him to do what they wanted. And they... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 8:1-3

Hosea 7:8 to Hosea 8:3 . Political Decay the Outward Sign of Israel’ s Moral Decay.— The attempts to cure national ills and secure safety by foreign aid, instead of by turning to Yahweh, are foredoomed to failure; Yahweh Himself frustrates them and will bring the misguided people to punishment and ruin ( Hosea 7:8-2 Kings :). Their doom is sealed, for they have been disloyal to Yahweh; they do not turn to Him with a true heart, but use heathen devices (cut themselves, Hosea 7:14 mg., see... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hosea 8:3

This seems to be the answer God by his prophet gives to Israel; in the first part of the verse he doth refute their pretence of a peculiar relation and interest in God, in the latter he tells them what they must expect. Israel, the whole house of Israel, hath. east off, with an abhorrence, as an adulterous wife puts away her husband. Good; moral good to be done, all virtue and goodness; and the supreme good to be enjoyed, God, true religion and virtue; all cast off for idols, false religion,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hosea 8:2-5

CRITICAL NOTES.—Hosea 8:2. We] Heb. joins Israel with the last clause, “We know thee, we Israel,” a plea of descent to move God to mercy; but hypocrisy, the cry of fear and not love. Dead knowledge cannot deliver. Hosea 8:3. Cast off] implies dislike, the breaking of relative bonds. Good] (tob) may include God, the supremely good, and all the blessings of salvation. Pursue] in retribution for rejecting God. Hosea 8:4. Kings] The self-authorized schism from the house of David. All their princes... read more

DISCOURSE: 1162THE DANGER OF FALSE CONFIDENCEHosea 8:2-3. Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.THERE is not a more intimate connexion between any two things than between sin and misery. However specious an appearance any hypocrite may make in the world, God, who sees his heart, will sooner or later expose and punish his hypocrisy. The Israelites on different occasions professed to repent, and to return to God:... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hosea 8:1-14

Chapter 8Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law ( Hsa Hosea 8:1 ).So God again is giving His indictment against them. Number one, they have trespassed His covenant. Number two, they transgressed His law. God had established a covenant with the nation Israel. The covenant was the basis whereby God would be their God and would bless them. "Now if you do these things, I will be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 8:1-14

Hosea 8:1 . Set the trumpet to thy mouth. Give alarm, for the king of Assyria is coming; he is stretching his wings like an eagle to take the prey. Isaiah uses the same figure, in Isaiah 58:1. Against the house of the Lord, the temple in Jerusalem. After Samaria shall have fallen under his power, then Judea shall fall, because she also has utterly transgressed the covenant by idols. Hosea 8:4 . They have set up kings, but not by me, This refers to the later kings of the ten tribes,... read more
