何西阿書 6:4 CUNPTS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Hosea 6:1-11

Healing and Binding Hosea 6:1-3 . Man never uttered these words. They seem as if they had originated in the hearts of the sinners whose sin has been portrayed with unutterable blackness. If we suppose that the prodigals invented this desire and this prayer, we are mistaken. God first teaches the prayer, and then answers it. The proof that prayer is divinely answered is that prayer is divinely taught. Lord, teach us how to pray! God will not disappoint himself; the Lord will not mock his own... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hosea 6:4

If the Reader recollects what I humbly observed in my Commentary on Hosea 4:17 and compares it with this verse, perhaps he may be led to think as I do. Certain it is, we shall think alike, if God the Holy Ghost be the teacher of both. But when I read the gracious, the tender expressions of the Lord, as in this verse, over both Ephraim and Judah, I cannot conceive that the sentence, let Ephraim alone, implies the giving up Ephraim to a judicial blindness, and irrecoverable apostacy. Reader!... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hosea 6:4

Mercy. Hebrew chesed, (Haydock) "piety," &c., (Grotius) whence the word Assideans is derived, 1 Machabees ii. 42. The captives flattered themselves, that as soon as they began to entertain sentiments of repentance, God would relieve them. But he answers that their virtue is inconstant, and that they must suffer in proportion to their crimes. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 6:4-11

4-11 Sometimes Israel and Judah seemed disposed to repent under their sufferings, but their goodness vanished like the empty morning cloud, and the early dew, and they were as vile as ever. Therefore the Lord sent awful messages by the prophets. The word of God will be the death either of the sin or of the sinner. God desired mercy rather than sacrifice, and that knowledge of him which produces holy fear and love. This exposes the folly of those who trust in outward observances, to make up for... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hosea 6:1-11

An Earnest Invitation and a Further Admonition. Having stated his threat in a most uncompromising form, the prophet adds a powerful appeal to the people of his nation to heed the warning of the Lord and to accept His mercy. v. 1. Come and let us return unto the Lord, the appeal being to seek the Lord in agreement with the last statement of the preceding Chapter, for He hath torn, by the punishments for sin which He sent upon them, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, so that they were... read more

Mainly against the PriestsHosea 5:1-151 Hear this ye Priests,And give ear, thou House of Israel,And listen, thou House of the King,Because the judgment is for you,And you have been a snare for Mizpah,And a net spread upon Tabor,2 And the apostates make slaughter1 deep [are deeply sunk in slaughter],And I am a... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hosea 6:1-11

“Let Us Return unto the Lord” Hosea 6:1-11 How full Scripture is of tender invitations: Come, and let us return! This opening verse is closely connected with Hosea 5:15 . The hand that smote was the Father’s who waited to welcome the prodigal nation with healing and up-binding. When the sun seems to dip below the horizon, we begin to travel toward its rising again. Then we follow on, to behold the glorious dawn of the next day, which is prepared for us. Presently we catch the first glimpse,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hosea 6:1-11

Here we have the prophet's appeal in consequence of the judgment threatened. It was first a message calling the people to return to Jehovah. It was based on the certainty of divine pity; and a promise of certain prosperity if the people did return to Him. However, it is impossible to read this message without discovering its Messianic values, for all that the prophet declared finds its fulfilment in the Christ by way of His First and Second Advents. There are two appeals: the first, "Come,... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 6:4

‘O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? For your covenant love is as a morning cloud, And as the dew which goes early away.’ We can see in this the cry of a father’s heart for his children (compare Hosea 11:1; Hosea 11:4; Exodus 4:22; Deuteronomy 14:1; Isaiah 63:16; Isaiah 64:8). God is, as it were, in despair at what to do with them because He loves them so much whilst they are unwilling to listen to what He says. He feels that He has tried everything. We can see... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 6:4-6

YHWH Makes Clear His Current View Of Israel And Judah Because Of Their Spiritual Bankruptcy (Hosea 6:4-6 ). Hosea, in words of YHWH, now contrasts his future glowing picture of Israel’s restoration with the current situation in Israel and Judah. Judah is now firmly included with Israel in the condemnation. This may well have been because many Judeans had attended the feasts at Bethel and fully participated in them, bringing home to Hosea the fact that while the worship at the Temple continued... read more
