何西阿书 10:4 RCUVSS

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hosea 10:4

They, the nobles and great men in Israel, the heads of the parties, or the counsellors of the kingdom, have spoken words; have in long and repeated consultations and debates contrived and laid forth the designs most like to help us; but all in vain, all is but words; or thus they have deceived one another, and ruined all; and this latter seems exactly to suit with what follows. Swearing falsely, by perjury deceiving those they treated with, in making a covenant; either among themselves,... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Hosea 10:1. Empty] Luxuriant. Lit. poureth out, emptying itself into leaves; stretching itself far and wide towards foreign alliances (Psalms 80:9; Psalms 80:12); outwardly prosperous, but no ripe grapes, sound fruit to God.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hosea 10:1-15

Shall we turn to Hosea, chapter 10.It is God's purpose for our lives that we bring forth fruit. In Isaiah chapter 6 God likens the nation of Israel to a vineyard that was planted with good plants, that was hedged about, but yet failed to bring forth any good fruit. And as a result, the vineyard was let go and ultimately destroyed. Now again, in Joel chapter 10, the Lord uses that allegory of a vineyard and of a fruitless vineyard to speak of the condition of the nation of Israel. It is always... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 10:1-15

Hosea 10:1 . Israel is an empty vine. So is the Hebrew, but the LXX read, “a well-branched vine;” that is, full of leaves, but destitute of fruit. Their fruits are the fruits of idolatry. The figures and allusions of the prophet were well understood by the jews, though often obscure to us. Hosea 10:2 . Their heart is divided. The Chaldaic reads, “divided from my law,” which gloss agrees with their obstinate attachment to their altars and their idols, as in the preseding verse. Now... read more

They have spoken words ] Bubbles of words, great swelling words, as 2Pe 2:18 thereby thinking to bear down and outface the prophets, and the godly party. They speak violent words (as the Chaldee hath it), robust words, as if they would yet carry it (though their king could not help them) by confederacies and covenants confirmed with oaths; holding... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:1-4

1, 2. Empty vine Or, emptying vine, that is, the vine that “pours forth its internal strength in abundance of growth and fruit”; therefore R.V., correctly, “luxuriant” (compare Hosea 9:10). He bringeth forth fruit unto himself Instead of bringing forth fruit for his owner, Jehovah; R.V. makes it a relative clause and renders, “that putteth forth his fruit”; the vine is also fruitful. Fruit Prosperity, wealth, and power. Probably a reference to the successes achieved under Jeroboam II... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:1-8

ISRAEL’S GUILT AND PUNISHMENT, Hosea 10:1-8. Using the figure of a luxuriant vine, the prophet describes Israel’s external prosperity; it increased steadily, but instead of bringing forth good grapes it brought forth bitter grapes (Isaiah 5:1-7; Psalms 80:8 ff.). The greater the prosperity the more flagrant the moral and religious corruption (Hosea 10:1-2). Therefore altars, idols, and pillars shall be broken down, the calves of Samaria shall be carried into Assyria, priests and people shall be... read more
