何西阿书 2:11-12 CUVS

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 2:2-23

The Discipline and Restoration of Faithless IsraelThe unfaithful conduct of Gomer and the prophet’s gentle treatment of her are regarded as an analogue of the nation’s faithlessness and God’s gentle correction, a proof of the love which will triumph in the end. But the acted parable and its interpretation are so blended that they cannot always be separated; and frequently the prophet’s personal experience is overshadowed by the larger thought of God’s dealings with His people.2. Plead]... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hosea 2:11

(11) Mirth . . . Cease.—The mirth is here indicative of the general character of the ceremonial—certainly not in itself a bad sign. David danced before the Lord, and justified the act. No one was to appear with sad countenance before Jehovah, any more than before an earthly potentate. (Comp. Nehemiah 2:2.)The “feast days” are to be distinguished from the “solemn feasts.” The latter term is more generic in Hebrew, while the former denoted the three great festivals of the year (especially the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hosea 2:12

(12) Destroy.—For this read, with margin, make desolate. The vine and fig tree are employed as the symbol of possession and peace (1 Kings 4:25; Isaiah 36:16, &c.). The desolation may be by fire or drought.Make them a forest.—The LXX. render make them a testimony, reading in the Hebrew text l’‘ed instead of l’ya‘ar. The latter certainly yields a more vivid sense. The rest of the verse in the LXX. is amplified: “And the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the heaven, and the creeping... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Hosea 2:1-23

The Christian in the Wilderness Hosea 2:14-15 Little as the Israelites were permanently benefited by their sufferings in the desert, they appear never to have forgotten them. Hence 'the wilderness' became another word among them for trouble and sorrow. It bears that meaning here. I. It points out to us, in the first instance, the Author of affliction. II. The text shows us next why God afflicts us; at least, it discovers to us one of the most frequent causes of our sorrows. III. We learn... read more

"My God will cast them away." {Hosea 10:1-15}"My God"-let us remember the right which Hosea had to use these words. Of all the prophets he was the first to break into the full aspect of the Divine Mercy to learn and to proclaim that God is Love. But he was worthy to do so, by the... read more

CHAPTER 2 Appeal and Punishment for Unfaithfulness The Resumed Relationship 1. The appeal and complaint (Hosea 2:1-5 ) 2. The punishment for Unfaithfulness (Hosea 2:6-13 ) 3. The resumed relationship and its great blessing (Hosea 2:14-23 ) Hosea 2:1-5 . Who is addressed in the first verse of this chapter? Some think the children of the prophet are meant.

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hosea 2:1-23

THE SWEEP OF THE BOOK It will be seen by the opening verse of this lesson that we are back in the land of Israel before the Babylonian captivity. Examine 2 Kings 14-20 and the corresponding chapters in 2 Chronicles for the history of this period, and the more carefully you read those chapters the more interested you will be in Hosea, and the more you will get out of it. While four of the kings named in Hosea 1:1 reigned in Judah, and only the last-named, Jeroboam, in Israel,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Hosea 2:1-23

Agnosticism Hos 2:8 The youngest reader of the Bible will be able to understand the words "They did not know." There is a theory which is known to-day by the difficult name Agnosticism. A great deal of worthless thinking may be hidden under that dark term. Let us understand what it means, and then inquire what it is worth. The meaning is supposed to be not-know-ism. Men do not now blatantly and vulgarly say, "There is no God"; that is generally considered now to be a fool's peculiar speech:... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hosea 2:8-13

These are so many blessed expressions, to show how graciously the Lord is dealing with his people, in the bounties both of providence and grace; while our proud, unhumbled nature, overlooking the Lord's free gifts, is always apt to ascribe every blessing to our own . attainment. Moses admonished Israel to be aware of this, and learn to give God the sole glory. Deuteronomy 8:10 to the end. We may make application of what is here said to spiritual privileges, as well as temporal mercies. The New... read more
