何西阿书 13:11 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 13:9-16

The first of these verses is the summary, or contents, of all the rest (Hos. 14:9), where we have, 1. All the blame of Israel's ruin laid upon themselves: O Israel! thy perdition is thence; it is of and from thyself; or, ?It has destroyed thee, O Israel! that is, all that sin and folly of thine which thou art before charged with. As thy own wickedness has many a time corrected thee, so that has now at length destroyed thee.? Note, Wilful sinners are self-destroyers. Obstinate impenitence is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 13:11

I gave thee a king in mine anger ,.... Not the king of Assyria, sent to waste and destroy them, and carry them captive, as some, for of him the next clause cannot be said; nor Jeroboam, the first king of the ten tribes, as others, who was not given in anger to Israel, but to Solomon; rather Saul, as Kimchi and Aben Ezra, the first king of all Israel; and who was given at the request of the people, though in anger and resentment, they rejecting God their King; or it may design the kingly... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 13:11

I gave thee a king in mine anger - Such was Saul; for they highly offended God when they clamoured to have a king like the heathen nations that were around them. Took him away in my wrath - Permitted him and the Israelites to fall before the Philistines. Others think that Shalmaneser was the king thus given, and Hoshea the king thus taken away. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 13:11

Verse 11 These are the princes, of whom thou hast said, Give me a king and princes. I gave to thee in my wrath, and took away in my fury; that is “It was a cursed beginning, and it shall be a cursed end; for the election of Jeroboam was not lawful; but through an impious wilfulness, the people then rebelled against me, when they revolted from the family of David.” Nothing successful could then proceed from so inauspicious a beginning. For it is only then an auspicious token, when we obey God,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 13:9-13

Man's marvelous perversity and God's restorative mercy. I. RUIN BY SIN , RECOVERY BY GRACE . When Israel had destroyed himself, and when there was neither help not' hope for him in himself or in aught that man could do, help was to be found in God and in God alone. Throughout the whole course of human history wrath and ruin are the deservings of man, goodness and mercy the dispensation of God. In the worst of times and in the darkest day help is to be bad in God In the midst of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 13:9-14

God-exaltation. God is exalted, negatively, by the overthrow of whatever is opposed to him—in Israel's case, by the humbling of their pride, the discovery of the vanity of their earthly trusts, and the overthrow of the sinful kingdom; and, positively, by the ultimate triumph of his purpose of salvation—a triumph even over death. I. ISRAEL THE AUTHOR OF HIS OWN DESTRUCTION . ( Hosea 13:9 ) It was a destruction: 1. For which he only was responsible . "Destroyed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 13:9-16

Ruin, retribution, and resurrection. Underlying these verses, and interpenetrating the judgment of Jehovah's anger with which they are charged, there is a deep undertone of tenderness. The prophet speaks, in the Lord's Name," with the laboring voice, interrupted by sobs, of a judge whose duty it is to pronounce the final heavy sentence after all possible pleadings and considerations have been gone through ' (Ewald). I. ISRAEL 'S RUIN . This is referred to, both as regards its origin... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 13:10-11

Israel had shown contempt for Jehovah by putting confidence in kings of their own choice, yet these kings could not afford them help, whence the questions of Hosea 13:10 . The usual rendering is at fault. I will be thy King. This should rather be, Where now is thy king? though ehi may be either verb or adverb. Where is any other that may says thee in all thy cities? Better take both clauses together and in connection, thus: Where, now, is thy kin g , that he may save thee in all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 13:10-11

The vanity of earthly kings. The historic reference of this passage is obvious. The Hebrew nation was properly a theocracy. God himself was their Lawgiver, Ruler, Leader, and Judge. But the people desired a king, that they might resemble the nations around them; and God, in condescension to their infirmities and in answer to their entreaties, gave them a king. The kings proved by no means an unmixed blessing. Many of the kings, both of Judah and of the northern dominion, led the people... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 13:10-16

The concluding verse is at once a conclusion and commencement—an inference from what preceded, and the beginning of a second line of proof showing that, while their ruin was by themselves, their restoration would be by God. When the kings and princes whom they had sinfully sought, and who had been given to them in anger would fail, God himself would be their King, as is stated in Hosea 13:10 and Hosea 13:11 . Further, when in consequence of their iniquities treasured up, their sorrows and... read more
