Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 7:4

They are all adulterers - The prophet continues to picture the corruption of all kinds and degrees of people. “All of them,” king, princes, people; all were given to adultery, both spiritual, in departing from God, and actual, (for both sorts of sins went together,) in defiling themselves and others. “All of them” were, (so the word means,) habitual “adulterers.” One only pause there was in their sin, the preparation to complete it. He likens their hearts, inflamed with lawless lusts, to the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 7:5

In the day of our king, the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine - (Or, “with heat from wine.”) Their holydays, like those of so many Englishmen now, were days of excess. “The day of their king” was probably some civil festival; his birthday, or his coronation-day. The prophet owns the king, in that he calls him “our king;” he does not blame them for keeping the day, but for the way in which they kept it. Their festival they turned into an irreligious and anti-religious carousal;... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 7:6

For they have made ready their heart like an oven - He gives the reason old their bursting out into open mischief; it was ever stored up within. They “made ready,” (literally, “brought near”) “their heart.” Their heart was ever brought near to sin, even while the occasion was removed at a distance from it. “The “oven” is their heart; the fuel, their corrupt affections, and inclinations, and evil concupiscence, with which it is filled; “their baker,” their own evil will and imagination, which... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 7:7

They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges - Plans of sin, sooner or later, through God’s overruling providence, bound back upon their authors. The wisdom of God’s justice and of His government shows itself the more, in that, without any apparent agency of His own, the sin is guided by Him through all the intricate mazes of human passion, malice, and cunning, back to the sinner’s bosom. Jeroboam, and the kings who followed him, had corrupted the people, in order to establish... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 7:3

Hosea 7:3. They make the king glad with their wickedness They study to please their kings and great men, by complying with the idolatry they have set up. The Seventy (with whom agree the Syriac and Arabic) read βασιλεις , kings, in the plural number, meaning the succession of the kings of Israel from Jeroboam. And the princes with their lies Which they speak to please and flatter them. But the word lie sometimes signifies an idol, and the practice of idolatry, as being set up in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 7:4

Hosea 7:4. They are all adulterers The expression may be here metaphorical, implying that they were apostates from God, to whose service they were engaged by the most solemn bond and covenant: compare Jeremiah 9:2; James 4:4. If the words be understood literally, the prophet compares the heat of their lust to the flame of an oven heated; or, as Bishop Horsley renders it, “Over-heated by the baker.” Who ceaseth from raising after he has kneaded the dough, until it be leavened Vulgate, ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 7:5-7

Hosea 7:5-7. In the day of our king Probably the anniversary of his birth, or coronation; the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine Or, when the princes began to be hot with wine, (so Newcome,) he stretched out his hand with scorners Deriders of God and man. Some recent and notorious act of contempt to God, or to his prophets, or to public justice, is here alluded to. “Those,” says Bishop Horsley, “who in their cups made a jest of the true religion, and derided the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 7:1-7

Treachery, robbery and murder (6:7-7:7)Priests and common citizens alike are guilty of treachery, robbery and murder. Hosea again names the places where they have practised these evils. He announces that the people, along with all their religious ceremonies and sacrifices, are repulsive to God (7-10). God wants to give blessings to his people, but they prevent such blessings because they refuse to repent. They prefer to continue with their cheating, stealing and violence (11-7:2).The death of... read more
