何西阿书 10:4 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:1-8

1-8 A vine is only valuable for its fruit; but Israel now brought no fruit to perfection. Their hearts were divided. God is the Sovereign of the heart; he will have all, or none. Were the stream of the heart wholly after God, it would run strongly, and bear down all before it. Their pretences to covenant with God were false. Even the proceeding of justice was as poisonous hemlock. Alas, how empty a vine is the visible church even at this day! But all earthly prosperity is but a collection of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hosea 10:1-8

The Seats of Worship Destroyed v. 1. Israel is an empty vine, a thriving, climbing vine; he bringeth forth fruit unto himself, growing up with every indication of strength and fruitfulness, but utterly selfish and godless in aim; according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars, that is, the more Israel grew in prosperity, the more the members of the nation rejected the Lord and became addicted to idolatry; according to the goodness of his land, in proportion to the... read more

C. Devastation of the Seats of Worship. Destruction of the KingdomHosea 10:1-151 Israel is a thriving vine1Which sends forth its fruit;As its fruit abounded,It multiplied altars;According to the prosperity of the land,The better they made their images.2 Their heart is smooth: now will they make expiation:He will cut down their altars, he will destroy their images3 For now they will say:We have no king,Because we did not fear God,And the king—what will he do for us.4 They speak words,Swearing2... read more

Hosea ‘FRUIT WHICH IS DEATH’ Hos_10:1 - Hos_10:15 . The prophecy of this chapter has two themes-Israel’s sin, and its punishment. These recur again and again. Reiteration, not progress of thought, characterises Hosea’s fiery stream of inspired eloquence. Conviction of sin and prediction of judgment are his message. We trace a fourfold repetition of it here, and further note that in each case there is a double reference to Israel’s sin as consisting in the rebellion which set up a king and in... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hosea 10:1-15

“Break up Your Fallow Ground” Hosea 10:1-15 Israel brought forth fruit, but not such as God could delight in. It was corrupt and evil. How great a disappointment to the Great Cultivator! The land was covered with obelisks and altars, the symbols of idolatry, and the Canaanites themselves had not been more shameless in sin. But notice the terrible judgments that must befall. There would be revolution, for when men say, We fear not the Lord , they will go on to say, We fear not the king.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hosea 10:1-15

The section dealing with pollution and its punishment closes with the prophet's recapitulation and appeal. The whole case is first stated under the figure of the vine. Israel was a luxuriant vine, and of God's planting, which had turned its fruitfulness to evil account, and it was therefore doomed to His judgment., The result of this judgment would be the lament of the people that they had no king able to save them. The prophet declared that the reason for this was that they had used vain... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:1-8

Israel’s ‘Fruitfulness’ Is Revealed By Their Setting Up A Multiplicity Of Altars And Religious Pillars, Declaring That They Are Responsible To No One, And Do Not Fear God, But They Will Shortly Discover That They Are Responsible To Someone, Even To The Great King Of Assyria, And That All Their False Altars Will Be Torn Down By A God Whom They Will Certainly Fear (Hosea 10:1-8 ). Israel is here depicted as being like a luxuriant vine, but it is as one that turns out to be a vine of false... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:1-15

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:4

‘They speak but words, Swearing falsely in making covenants, Therefore judgment springs up as poisonous weeds In the furrows of the field.’ Hosea points out the folly of their words. They should recognise that they are but words, bold, brash, and foolish. For while they may still be swearing covenants, it is with gods who are unable to respond. They are false covenants. They are trusting in shadows. And that is why even now judgment is inevitably springing up around them, in the same way as... read more

Hosea 10:1-Ruth : . God’ s Annihilating Judgment on the Mixed Cultus.— With the land’ s abounding prosperity Israel has multiplied altars in the service of the mixed cultus; these Yahweh will destroy ( Hosea 10:1 f.) Their puppet-kings they shall find utterly impotent ( Hosea 10:3), and their idle, lying words, which never result in performance, shall yield a bitter crop of judgment ( Hosea 10:4, ? a gloss). Samaria ( i.e. the northern kingdom) shall find the “ calves of Beth-Aven” (Bethel, ... read more
