何西阿书 10:10-11 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 10:9-15

Here, I. They are put in mind of the sins of their fathers and predecessors, for which God would now reckon with them. It was told them (Hos. 9:9) that they had corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah, and here (Hos. 10:9), O Israel! thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah. Not only the wickedness that was committed in that age is revived in this, and reacted, a copy from that original, but the wickedness that was committed in that age has been continued in a constant series and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 10:10

It is in my desire that I should chastise them ,.... Or, "bind them" F1 ואסרם "et, vel ut vinciam eos", Junius & Tremellius, Drusius, Grotius; "colligabo eos", Cocceius. , and carry them captive; and by so doing correct them for their sins they have so long continued in: this the Lord had in his heart to do, and was determined upon it, and would do it with pleasure, for the glorifying of his justice, since they had so long and so much abused his clemency and goodness: and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 10:11

And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn ,.... Like a heifer taught to bear the yoke, and to plough; but learned it not, as the Targum; does not like it; chooses to tread out the corn where it can feed upon it, its mouth not being then muzzled, according to the law; oxen or heifers were used both in ploughing and treading out corn, to which the allusion is. The sense is, that Ephraim or the ten tribes were taught to bear the yoke of the law, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:10

When they shall bind themselves in their two furrows - "When they are chastised for their two iniquities," i.e., the calves in Dan and Beth-el. - Newcome. But this double iniquity may refer to what Jeremiah says, Jeremiah 11:13 ; : "My people have committed two evils." - They have forsaken me. 2. They have joined themselves to idols. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:11

Ephraim is as a heifer that is taught - One thoroughly broken in to the yoke. And loveth to tread out - Goes peaceably in the yoke; and is pleased because, not being muzzled, she eats of the corn. I passed over upon her fair neck - I brought the yoke upon it, that she should not tread out the corn merely, but draw the plough and drag the harrow. These operations of husbandry are all referred to here, with some others. Ephraim shall tread out the corn, that there may be seed for the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:10

Verse 10 When God says that he desires to chastise the people, he intimates that this was his purpose, as when one greatly wishes for anything; and it may be an allowable change in the sentence, if the copulative was omitted, and it be rendered thus, — It is in my desire to chastise them But to depart from the words seems not to me necessary; I therefore take them apart as they stand, in this sense, — that God would follow his desire in chastising the people. The sentence seems indeed to be... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:11

Verse 11 Some read the two words, “taught,” and “loveth,” separately, מלמדה, melamde, and אהבתי, aebti; for they think that at the beginning of the verse a reproach is conveyed, as though the Prophet had said, that Ephraim was wholly unteachable: though God had from childhood brought him up under his discipline, he yet now showed so great stubbornness, that he even ceased not to rebel against God, and went on obstinately in his own wickedness. “Ephraim then is like a trained heifer.” But this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 10:9-11

Past and present. We have here, I. A PAST OF SIN —A PRESENT OF RETRIBUTION . ( Hosea 10:9 , Hosea 10:10 ) Israel's sin was: 1. Of old date . "Thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah" (cf. on Hosea 9:9 ). The sin of Gibeah was an early and outstanding instance of wickedness. It may have taken place not long after "the days of the elders which over-lived Joshua" (Joshus Joshua 24:31 ), and so have been the first public mark of the new departure in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 10:9-12

A checkered picture. These verses exhibit the continuance in sin and its consequences, chastisement and its lessons, change of circumstances and its bitter experiences, the call to repentance and the blessed promises to the penitent. I. CONTINUANCE IN SIN . Israel had corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah ( Hosea 9:9 ), and, as we are told in Hosea 10:9 , had sinned from the days of Gibeah. 1. Grievous as their sin had been at first, it was greatly aggravated by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 10:9-15

National prosperity and calamity. In this passage, for the second time ( vide Hosea 9:10 ), the prophet starts with a brief reminiscence of former days, and then proceeds to deliver an urgent exhortation to present duty; but all serves merely as a basis for more denunciation and announcement of retribution. I. THE IDEAL LIFE OF A NATION . ( Hosea 10:12 ) Although this verse is in the first instance a summons to Israel to repent and reform, we may view it as indicating... read more
