何西阿书 2:5 RCUVSS

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 2:2-23

Hosea 2:2-Isaiah : ( Hebrews 2:4-Job :). In this discourse, which seems to be based upon and imply the narrative in Hosea 1, 3, the prophet sets forth the unfaithfulness of the people and land of Israel to her Divine husband, Yahweh.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hosea 2:5

For: this demonstrates the truth of the charge, and justifieth the severity of the punishment. Their mother: see Hosea 2:2. Played the harlot; doted on idols, worshipped them, and brought forth and educated children for diem. She hath done shamefully: this practice, in the best circumstances it can be put, was dishonourable as well as dishonest; but here is an aggravation of it, it was done with shameless impudence, and openly avowed, with a whore’s forehead, Jeremiah 3:3. She said; she took... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Hosea 2:2. Plead] Jehovah makes the demand, urges individual Israelites to reason with the mother, i.e. the nation viewed as one. The children were seduced, in danger of punishment, and as penitents must protest against her conduct. Wife] Forfeited all claims to my protection. Sight] Lit. from her face, the seat of modesty and shame (Jeremiah 3:8; Jeremiah 6:15). “The eyes are windows through which death, i.e. lawless desire, enters into the soul, and takes it captive” [Pusey].... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Hosea 2:6. Hedge and make] Build a wall, a double enclosure of stones and thorns. In the East cattle are fenced with thorns and closes. God with determined purpose will interpose between Israel and her idols. Behold, I will hedge] Exile and distress, and the inability of her gods to help, would prove the folly of her conduct (Job 19:18; Lamentations 3:7-9). Hosea 2:7. Follow after and seek] In eager pursuit and diligent search. “They express together a pursuit, whose minuteness... read more

Hosea 2:1 . Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi, that is, my people; and to your sisters, Ruhamah, that is, mercy, or oh mercy, or having obtained mercy, or mercy shall follow. Hosea 2:3 . Lest I strip her naked. The feminine name was given by the Greeks to all countries, and on that idea the text is founded. Nudity was the ancient punishment of an adulteress. Ezekiel 16:37. The scenes of drunkenness and prostitution which attended gentile feasts, were such as cannot be recited. Hosea... read more

Hosea 2:5For she said, I will go after my lovers.The sin of IsraelThe sin of Israel was not simple whoredom, which may be done in the dark, but avowed, effronted idolatry. Whence learn--1. Such is the stupidity of grossest sinners, that they neither see the ill nor danger of their way, unless it be much and frequently inculcated.2. A visible church declining, will readily turn impudent in sin. The more corruption hath been hemmed in by the external bonds of order, it swells the more over all... read more

For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. That give me — Whereas every mercy she enjoyed was God's gift, a fruit of his covenant, love and faithfulness towards her; yet she denies all his kindness, and ascribes to her idols, the bread she ate, the water she drank, and the clothes she wore. read more
