Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 9:1-6

Here, I. The people of Israel are charged with spiritual adultery: O Israel! thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, Hos. 9:1. Their covenant with God was a marriage-covenant, by which they were joined to him as their God, renouncing all others. But when they set up idols and worshipped them, when they fled to creatures for succour and put a confidence in them, they went a whoring from God as their God, and honoured the pretenders and rivals with the affection, adoration, and confidence, which... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 9:7-10

For their further awakening, it is here threatened, I. That the destruction spoken of shall come speedily. They shall have no reason to hope for a long reprieve, for the judgment slumbers not; it is at the door (Hos. 9:7): The days of visitation have come, and there shall be no more delay; the days of recompence have come, which they have been so often warned to expect; their prophets have told them that destruction would come, and now it has come, and the time of the divine patience has... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 9:6

For, lo, they are gone, because of destruction ,.... That is, many of the people of Israel were gone out of their own land to others, particularly to Egypt, because of the destruction that was coming upon them, and to avoid it; because of the Assyrian army which invaded their land, and besieged Samaria, and threatened them with entire destruction; and upon which a famine ensued, and which is thought by Kimchi to be here particularly meant; Egypt shall gather them up : being dead; for... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 9:7

The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come ,.... In which the Lord would punish the people of Israel for their sins, and reward them in a righteous manner, according as their evil works deserved; which time, being fixed and appointed by him, are called "days"; and these, because near at hand, are said to be "come"; and this is repeated for the certainty of it: Israel shall know it ; by sad experience, that these days are come; and shall acknowledge the truth of... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:6

For, lo, they are gone - Many of them fled to Egypt to avoid the destruction; but they went there only to die. Memphis - Now Cairo, or Kahira, found them graves. The pleasant places for their silver - The fine estates or villas which they had purchased by their money, being now neglected and uninhabited, are covered with nettles; and even in their tabernacles, thorns and brambles of different kinds grow. These are the fullest marks of utter desolation. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:7

The days of visitation - Of punishment are come. The prophet is a fool - Who has pretended to foretell, on Divine authority, peace and plenty; for behold all is desolation. The spiritual man - הרוח איש ish haruach , the man of spirit, who was ever pretending to be under a Divine afflatus. Is mad - He is now enraged to see every thing falling out contrary to his prediction. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:6

Verse 6 The Prophet confirms here what is contained in the last verse, that is, that the Israelites would at length find that the Prophets had not in vain threatened them, though they at the time heedlessly despised the judgement of God. Lo, he says, they have departed: he speaks of the exile as if it had already taken place, when it was only nigh at hand. The Israelites were then dwelling in their own country, he yet speaks of them as having already gone away. But he sets forth the certainty... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 9:7

Verse 7 The Prophet, by saying that the days of visitation had come, intended to shake off from hypocrites that supine torpor of which we have often spoken; for as they were agitated by their own lusts, and were in a state of continual fervour, so they hardened themselves against God’s judgement, and, as it were, covered themselves over with hardness. It was then necessary to deal roughly with them in order to break down such stubbornness. This is the reason that the Prophet repeats so often... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:1-6

Sin is the cause of sorrow and the source of sadness The merrymaking of wicked people is often both hollow and heartless; it is always without true ground or real cause; while the laughter of fools is like the crackling of thorns under a pot. The people of Israel were jubilant at the time referred to. The reason of their jubilation does not distinctly appear. It may have arisen from some losses having been retrieved, or some advantages gained, or some successes achieved, or some useful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 9:1-6

The Lord's land for the Lord's people. This chapter may fall in the interval between the Assyrian invasions of B.C. 743-738, and the invasions ending in the overthrow of Pekah, B.C. 734-730 (cf. 2 Kings 15:29 , 2 Kings 15:30 ; 2 Chronicles 28:16-21 , and Assyrian monuments). The interval seems to have been one of revived prosperity ( 2 Chronicles 28:6-15 ). I. ABUSED GOODNESS . ( Hosea 9:1 , Hosea 9:2 ) 1. A glimpse of prosperity . Israel had been rejoiced with... read more
