何西阿书 7:15-16 CUNPSS

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hosea 7:11-16

Hypocrisy Rebuked v. 11. Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart, one which is too simple to notice the snare of the fowler. They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria, not realizing that the very nations whose help they invoked would prove their undoing. v. 12. When they shall go, when their embassies are dispatched to seek the aid of the great foreign nations, I will spread My net upon them, using the foreigners as His instruments to carry out His punishment upon them; I will bring... read more

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

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 7:11-16

Ephraim (Israel) Are Pictured As A Hapless Dove Fluttering Between Egypt And Assyria As They Endeavour To Avoid YHWH’s Net (Hosea 7:11-16 ). Ephraim are now depicted as being willing to do anything rather than rely on YHWH. They are seen as so lacking in understanding that they are like a fluttering and helpless bird, one moment calling on Egypt, and the next going to Assyria. Meanwhile YHWH hovers over them with His net with the intention of bringing them down and chastising them. Thus in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 7:15

‘Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, Yet they do devise mischief against me.’ And yet it was YHWH and not Baal Who had taught them and made their arms strong. This may refer to the fact that He had brought them to young adulthood, rearing them as His children (compare Hosea 11:3). Or it may refer to Him as having made them strong for battle (compare Psalms 18:32-36). Either way the idea is that they owed everything that they were (as possessors of the land and landowners in... read more

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

‘They return, but not to on high, They are like an unreliable bow, Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue, This will be their derision in the land of Egypt. Thus it was to Egypt that they returned and not to ‘on High’. They looked back to Egypt and not upwards towards YHWH. In other words they had ignored the One Who now with His net hovered over them on High to make them captive (Hosea 7:12). They were like someone who constantly missed the mark because they had an... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hosea 7:15

Though I; but as for me, or, And I. Bound; or chastised, as the word will bear; or instructed; either notion will well suit the place. When I had chastised them for their sins, as in Jehoahaz’s time, I strengthened them in Jehoash’s time, and in Jeroboam’s time, and made them stronger than their enemies. Or, I taught them, gave them wisdom and skill to handle their weapons; so David speaks, Psalms 18:34, He teacheth my hands to war, and Psalms 144:1. But the sense best suits with what he took... read more
