The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Hosea 10:1-15

Cords and Bands Hosea 10:0 , Hosea 11:0 "In a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off" ( Hos 10:15 ). There are various interpretations of this vivid passage. The one which is to be, in my judgment, preferred is that which regards the king of Israel in the light of one who has risen upon the troubles of his nation as the dawn rises upon the darkness. Hoshea was the last king of Israel. When the people hailed him on his accession they said in their hearts, This is he who shall... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Hosea 10:8-12

An Overthrown Altar Hos 10:8-12 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed." We have seen that "Beth-el" means The house of God, and that by iniquity, manifold and black, Beth-el was turned into Bethaven, and that Bethaven means The house of vanity. This is an instance of deterioration, and more than mere deterioration; it is an instance of transformation from good to bad, from the heights of heaven to the depths of the world of fire. Such miracles can be accomplished... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hosea 10:10-11

The expressions and the figure of an heifer, in these verses, are not so clear so as to enter into the full apprehension of them. But generally speaking, they describe the Lord's grace, and Israel's unfaithfulness. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hosea 10:10

Their two iniquities. Their two calves; (Challoner) or because they have abandoned God, and followed idols, Jeremias ii. 13. Many render, "when I shall have tied them, like oxen, in their two furrows." But the Vulgate is plainer, and adopted by most. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hosea 10:11

Neck. I will confine her to harder labour. While the oxen tred out corn, they may eat, Deuteronomy xxv. 4. --- Himself. Juda shall be chastised after the ten tribes; so that none of my people shall escape. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:9-15

9-15 Because God does not desire the death and ruin of sinners, therefore in mercy he desires their chastisement. The children of iniquity still remained in Israel. The enemies would be gathered against them. It is just with God to make those know what hardships mean, who indulge themselves in ease and pleasure. Let them cleanse their hearts from all corrupt affections and lusts, and be a broken and contrite spirit. Let them abound in works of piety towards God, and of justice and charity... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hosea 10:9-15

The Kingdom Devastated v. 9. O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah, when such an abominable atrocity happened in the midst of the people of God, Cf Hosea 9:9; Judges 19:22; there they stood, continuing in the same immorality which was committed by the inhabitants of Gibeah. The battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them, that is, while they were guilty of the same immorality, they were mercifully not punished in the same manner as the criminals of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Hosea 10:1-15

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

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Hosea 10:1-15

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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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
