Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 7:13

"Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me."Smith pointed out that in the Hebrew:"The construction of the phrase is impressive ... "And I, I would have redeemed them, but they, they spoke lies against me." The contrast between the Lord's intention and Israel's action is deliberately pointed."[14]There is infinite pathos in the heart-cry of the Father over his wicked... read more

Pretending to be My worshippers, when they all the while worshipped idols (Hosea 7:14; Hosea 12:1); also defrauding Me of the glory of their deliverance, and ascribing it and their other blessings to idols [CALVIN]. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 7:13

The Lord pronounced doom on the Israelites because He would judge them for straying from Him like sheep from their Shepherd. Destruction would be their punishment because they rebelled against Him. His desire was to redeem them from destruction, but they only spoke lies about His desire and ability to redeem them. That is why they made foreign treaties: to defend themselves since they thought Yahweh would or could not."The God of the Exodus is unchanged in His will, but because of Israel’s lies... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 7:1-16

Corruption of the CourtIn this chapter the tone again becomes despondent. How can Israel be saved when her iniquity is so deep, so glaring, so obstinate? Samaria is especially instanced as the centre of a wicked and corrupt government sustained by a lawless people and false teachers. Hosea dwells chiefly on some plot which ended in regicide and the reliance on foreign powers which meant want of faith in God.2. They fail to realise how patent in God’s sight their iniquity is, while they attempt... read more

THE THICK NIGHT OF ISRAELHosea 4:1-19; Hosea 5:1-15; Hosea 6:1-11; Hosea 7:1-16; Hosea 8:1-14; Hosea 9:1-17; Hosea 10:1-15; Hosea 11:1-12; Hosea 12:1-14; Hosea 13:1-16; Hosea 14:1-9It was indeed a "thick night" into which this Arthur of Israel stepped from his shattered home. The mists drive across Hosea’s long agony with his people, and what we see, we see blurred and broken. There are stumbling and clashing; crowds in drift; confused rallies; gangs of assassins breaking across the highways;... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Hosea 7:8-16

1. THE CONFUSION OF THE NATIONHosea 7:8-16; Hosea 8:1-3Hosea begins by summing up the public aspect of Israel in two epigrams, short but of marvelous adequacy:-{Hosea 7:8}"Ephraim-among the nations he mixeth himself: Ephraim has become a cake not turned."It is a great crisis for any nation to pass from the seclusion of its youth and become a factor in the main history of the world. But for Israel the crisis was trebly great. Their difference from all other tribes about them had struck the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Hosea 7:1-16

CHAPTER 7 The Moral Depravity of Israel 1. Their moral depravity (Hosea 7:1-7 ) 2. Mingling with heathen nations (Hosea 7:8-16 ) Hosea 7:1-7 . All the gracious efforts of the Lord to heal Israel resulted in a greater manifestation of the iniquity of Ephraim. Instead of turning to Him in true repentance and self-judgment their evil heart turned away from Jehovah, and they continued in their downward course. They did not consider that the Lord would remember all their evil deeds and punish... read more
