Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hosea 6:1-11

Chapter 6And they will say,Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up ( Hsa Hosea 6:1 ).This is the prayer that they will be offering unto God or this is the declaration that they'll be making to each other. "Come, and let us return unto the Lord. He has torn us, but He will heal us. He has smitten us, but He will bind us up."After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 6:1-11

Hosea 6:2 . After two days will he revive us. The Chaldaic paraphrase gives a double acceptation to this text, that the Messiah should raise the dead, and that he should also revive and heal the church. Day is here understood in a figurative sense for age or dispensation. Israel saw a fine day compared with her captivity, when Cyrus restored them to their own country, and with gifts of gold. Israel saw a second day when the light of the glorious gospel of God our Saviour burst upon a... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Hosea 6:2

Hosea 6:2After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.Death the gate of lifeLet us look, not on the dying side, but on the living side. Each shadow has its light; each valley its height; each night its dawn; each wound of the oyster-shell its pearl; each kind of death its counterpart of life. To have the one is to have both. It is, therefore, a mistake to be ever thinking of what you must give up. Think rather of what you must take in.... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 6:1-3

THE PEOPLE’S RETURN TO JEHOVAH, Hosea 6:1-3. The first three verses of chapter 6 form the natural continuation of Hosea 5:15, with which LXX. connects them by prefixing “saying.” This addition explains them as a mutual exhortation to return to Jehovah. While saying may have been added by the Greek translator, it embodies undoubtedly a correct interpretation. As expected, they will return, but without real, heartfelt repentance. There is not one expression of sorrow for wrongdoing, only... read more
