Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Hosea 7:1-16

2. Chiefly against the CourtHosea 7:1-161 When I would heal Israel,Then the iniquity of Ephraim is made manifest,And the evil deeds of Samaria.For they have worked deceit, and the thief enters (the houses).A band of robbers plunders in the street.2 And they will not say to their heart,(That) I have remembered all their wickedness;Now their deeds have beset them round;They are before my face.3 By their wickedness they have pleased the king,And by their falsehood the princes.4 All of them (are)... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hosea 7:1-16

Iniquity Uncovered Hosea 7:1-16 The last clause of the previous chapter belongs to this. God desired to turn aside the captivity of His people and to heal Israel, but His pleading was unavailing because of their inveterate sin. This evil-doing witnessed against them, Hosea 7:2 . Their passions did not need incitement, just as an oven retains its heat without the baker’s continued attention. The royal birthday was celebrated with drunken orgies, and the national religion had become a confused... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hosea 7:1-16

The prophet then declared more particularly the true state of affairs. The divine desire to heal was frustrated by the pollution and the people's persistent ignoring of God. Hosea graphically described the widespread pollution. The king, the princess, and the judges were corrupt. All were affected as by the heat of wine and the leaven of evil. With reference to the widespread influence of Ephraim, the prophet described the tribe as mixing among the people. This ancient tribe was like a cake... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 7:9

UNCONSCIOUS DEGENERATION ( For the New Year)‘Gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.’ Hosea 7:9 The first Sunday of another year.—A new year with new possibilities. Let us pause beside the milestone, and turn our thoughts inward; cast up our life’s accounts and balances, and see how they stand with God. We have been taking stock in business, remembering our friends, forming plans and purposes for a new year. Let us take stock of our character. Other things we must some day... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 7:1-16

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 7:8-10

In Turning To Foreign Nations For Their Support Instead Of Turning To YHWH, Ephraim Do Not Realise What The Consequences Will Be (Hosea 7:8-10 ). Hosea now parodies the people’s attempts to find help from foreign nations. This initially had included Aram (Syria), but then moved on to the Philistine nations and Egypt, and at other times to Assyria itself. To them anything was preferable to returning to YHWH. He pictures Ephraim, as a result of having mixed with the nations, as ‘a cake not... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 7:9

Yes, grey hairs are here and there on him (or ‘steal up on him’), And he does not know it.’ The verb in the first line usually means ‘sprinkled’ thus possibly indicating that they now have a sprinkling of grey hair. But based on an Arabic word the verb may also mean ‘steal up on’, which would indicate that they had grown grey without realising it. The suggestion then would be that they had become old and decrepit. Others see the grey hairs as referring to the grey hairs which can be seen on... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 7:8-16

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

Strangers; foreigners, whose aid Ephraim sought, as 2 Kings 15:19,2 Kings 15:20, when Menahem bought the friendship of Pul king of Assyria for one thousand talents of silver, and impoverished the land thereby. Have devoured; eat up, lived upon, as men live on bread they eat. His strength; the riches and goods of the kingdom of Israel; the fruit of the olive and vine; the fruit of the earth, corn; the increase of their flocks and of their herds; the most or best of all eaten up by strangers,... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Hosea 7:8. Mixed] by leagues and adoption of idolatrous customs. The Heb. indicates a mixing which disorders and involves confusion. A cake] burned at the bottom and sad at the top,—an image of worthlessness. One side scorched and black, the other unbaked and doughy; the whole spoiled and only fit to cast away. Hosea 7:9. Gray hairs] Symptoms of age and declining strength. “Thy gray hairs are thy passing bell” [Pusey]. Wisdom is not always found with age (Job 32:7; Proverbs... read more
