George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hosea 5:5

Answer. Septuagint, "be humbled." It appears openly, so as to deserve condemnation. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:1-7

1-7 The piercing eye of God saw secret liking and disposition to sin, the love the house of Israel had to their sins, and the dominion their sins had over them. Pride makes men obstinate in other sins. And as Judah was treading in the same steps, they would fall with Israel. By dealing treacherously with the Lord, men only deceive themselves. Those that go to seek the Lord with their flocks and their herds only, and not with their hearts and souls, cannot expect to find him; nor shall any speed... read more

The Accusation Against the Priests v. 1. Hear ye this, O priests, the spiritual leaders of the people; and hearken, ye house of Israel, the family of the ten tribes as such; and give ye ear, in paying most careful attention, O house of the king, as the temporal rulers of the nation; for judgment is toward you, it is intended for them, to strike them down in due time, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, this being the town in the northern part of their country or beyond Jordan, and a... read more

B. An Accusation especially against the Priests and the Royal House. The untheocratic Policy of the Kingdom of Israel in seeking for Help to Assyria and Egypt is denouncedHosea 5-7I. 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 5:1-15

God’s Rebuke of Apostasy Hosea 5:1-15 The prophet continues his grave indictment of his people. The court and the priesthood were chiefly responsible for the awful degeneracy that was eating out the national heart. The seductions of idolatry that abounded everywhere resembled the snares and nets set by hunters on the wooded heights of Gilead and Tabor. Suddenly, within a month, Hosea 5:7 , an alarm sounds from hill to hill. The foreign invader has entered the country and is slowly marching... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hosea 5:1-15

Having thus declared the cause of pollution, the prophet's next message was especially addressed to priest, people, and king. First to the priests and the king as elders, and consequently responsible, but to the people also as having been guilty of following the false lead. The message af firmed the divine knowledge of the condition of affairs. Ephraim had committed whoredom; Israel was defiled. Thus the outward doings and the inward condition were recognized. The inevitable judgment was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:1-7

Judgment Is Announced On The Priests, People And Royal House Of Israel Because Of Their Going Astray In Their Ritual, Something Which Has Prevented Them From Turning To YHWH And Has Made Them Unacceptable To Him, And The Consequence Will Be That They Will Be Devoured (Hosea 5:1-7 ). Hosea now involves every section of society, including royalty, in their ‘going against YHWH’, and points out that what they are is known to YHWH. On the other hand their behaviour and attitudes have been so... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:1-15

ISRAEL’S LOVE AFFAIR WITH IDOLS AND WITH ASSYRIA IS NOW DEPICTED AND WARNINGS GIVEN OF WHAT WILL BE THE CONSEQUENCE FOR THEM, AND THIS TOGETHER WITH A REMINDER THAT IF THEY RETURN TO HIM HE CAN PROVIDE ALL THAT BAAL PROVIDES AND MORE (Hosea 4:1 to Hosea 6:3 ). Having illustrated Israel’s position in terms of an adulterous and unfaithful wife, Hosea now charges Israel more directly with their sins, and warns them of what the consequences will be if they do not repent and turn back to YHWH.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:3-4

‘I know Ephraim, And Israel is not hid from me, For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot, Israel is defiled. ‘Their doings will not allow them, To turn to their God, For the spirit of whoredom is within them, And they do not know YHWH.’ There is an interesting inclusio and play on ideas here in that YHWH is said to ‘know Ephraim’ (Israel) whilst Ephraim and Israel ‘do not know YHWH’. YHWH is omniscient and Israel are blind. The idea behind YHWH knowing Israel is that nothing that they do... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:5

‘And the pride of Israel testifies to his face, And Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity, Judah also will stumble with them.’ Indeed He is aware of their pride and self-reliance which testifies to His face (or their own face), revealed both in their false worship and their social injustice (Hosea 4:2). By their actions they are boldly declaring to His face that they want nothing to do with Him and His covenant. The word for ‘testify’ is a legal word. They are making their statement... read more
