何西阿书 2:11-12 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hosea 2:6-13

God here goes on to threaten what he would do with this treacherous idolatrous people; and he warns that he may not wound, he threatens that he may not strike. If he turn not, he will whet his sword (Ps. 7:12); but, if he turn, he will sheathe it. They did not turn, and therefore all this came upon them: and its being threatened before shows that it was the execution of a divine sentence upon them for their wickedness; and it is written for admonition to us. I. They shall be perplexed and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 2:11

I will also cause all her mirth to cease ,.... As it must in course, this being her case, as before described, whether considered in individuals, or as a body politic, or in their church state, as follows: her feast days ; which the Jews understand of the three feasts of tabernacles, passover, and pentecost; typical of Christ's tabernacling in human nature; of his being the passover sacrificed for us; and of the firstfruits of the Spirit; which being come, the shadows are gone and... read more

And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees ,.... Which are mentioned for the rest, being the most fruitful and beneficial: this was done when Judea was invaded, overrun and wasted, by the Roman army; and when many were cut down, as Josephus observes, to build forts, and cast up mounts against Jerusalem; so that, he, says F12 De Bello Jud. l. 6. c. 1. sect. 1. , the appearance of the earth was miserable, for what before was adorned with trees and gardens, looked now like a... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 2:11

Verse 11 The Prophet now descends to particulars; and, in the first place, he says, that the people would be deprived of their sacrifices and feast-days, and of that whole external pomp, which was with them the guise of religion. He then adds, that they would be spoiled of their food, and all their abundance. He has hitherto been speaking of their nakedness; but he now describes what this nakedness would be: and he specially mentions, that sacrifices would cease, that feast days, new-moons, and... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 2:12

Verse 12 I now come to the second kind of nakedness: the Prophet says, I will waste or destroy her vine and her fig-tree, of which she has said, Reward are these to me; that is, These things are wages to me, which my lovers have given to me: and I will make them a forest, and feed on them shall the beast of the field. The second part of the spoiling, as we have said, is, that the Israelites would be reduced to miserable want, who, before, had not only great abundance of good things, but also... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 2:6-13

The pains and penalties that are attached to sin. In the Book of Judges it is stated once and again that, when the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, he delivered them into the hand of their enemies. "They forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of the spoilers that spoiled them; The children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord And the Lord sold them into the hand... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 2:8-13

Prosperity abased and blighted. In this second strophe of the chapter Jehovah continues to expatiate upon Israel's ingratitude and infidelity, and warns her with solemn iteration of the punishment awaiting her. These verses speak of— I. PROSPERITY PLENTIFULLY BESTOWED . ( Hosea 2:8 , Hosea 2:9 ) The time of Jeroboam II ; to which this part of the prophecy refers, was to Israel one of unexampled national wealth. The kingdom seemed as rich and powerful at that period as it had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 2:10-13

Retribution. Israel's punishment, while retributive, was reformatory. It is equally true that, while reformatory, it was retributive. It repaid Israel for her sins. It vindicated righteousness. All earthly punishments have this double character. The following principles come to light in the passage:— I. SIN ENDS IN THE FULL REVELATION OF ITS HIDEOUSNESS . ( Hosea 2:10 ) At first its true nature is concealed. It comes with fair appearances; it decks itself in festal... read more
