Oseas 10:15 RVR1960

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 10:15

So shall Bethel do unto you, because of your great wickedness ,.... Or, "because of the evil of your evil" F19 מפני רעת רעתכם "propter malitiam malitiae vestrae", Pagninus, Cocceius, Schmidt. ; their extreme wickedness, and exceeding sinfulness; the evil of evils they were guilty of was their idolatry, their worshipping the calf at Bethel; and this was the cause of all their ruin: God was the cause of it; the king of Assyria the instrument; but the procuring or meritorious cause... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:15

So shall Beth-el do unto you - This shall be the consequence of your idolatry. In a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off - Suddenly, unexpectedly. Hoshea, the king of Israel, shall be cut off by the Assyrians. There are some allusions to facts in this chapter, which cannot be easily verified, as we have not sufficient acquaintance with the history of those times. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 10:15

Verse 15 We explained yesterday Hosea 10:14, in which the Prophet denounced the vengeance of God on his people, such as they had experienced either when the country was laid waste by the army of Shalmanezar, or when some other slaughter was made. From the words, we certainly learn that a battle had been fought in Arbel, which was a town, as we have said, beyond Jordan. But the Prophet shows also how much had been the atrocity of that battle, and how grievous and dreadful would be that slaughter... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 10:12-15

Moral husbandry. Israel's duty is here contrasted with their practice. I. THE KIND OF HUSBANDRY ISRAEL OUGHT TO HAVE FOLLOWED . ( Hosea 10:12 ) 1. Preparation of the soil . Israel is first bid to sow; then going a step further back, the people are commanded, "Break up your fallow ground." If fruits of righteousness are to be produced, it needs, not simply a weeding and recultivation of the old soil—the natural, unrenewed heart—but the preparation of a soil... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 10:13-15

The prolific fruits of evil. The Israelites are not only charged with neglect of duty, but with sins of commission. The concluding verses of the chapter point out this contrariety of their conduct to the foregoing exhortation, and its consequences; trace the source of their sinful courses to their carnal confidences; and foretell the coming calamities caused thereby. I. THE CONDUCT OF THE PEOPLE HAD BEEN DIRECTLY CONTRARY TO THE ADMONITION JUST GIVEN . 1. ... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 10:15

So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness (margin, the evil of your evil ): in a morning shall the King of Israel utterly be cut off . Their coming sufferings were all traceable to their sin. Bethel, the principal place of calf-worship, was the cause of their coming calamities, not the place itself, but the wickedness of which it was the scene. The real cause was the great and crowning wickedness practiced there. Bethel, once the house of God, would in consequence... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hosea 10:15

So shall Bethel do unto you - God was the judge, who condemned them so to suffer from the enemy. The Assyrian was the instrument of the wrath of God. But, in order to point out the moral government of God, the prophet says, neither that God did it, nor that the Assyrian did it, but Bethel, once “the house of God,” now the place where they dishonored God, “because of your great wickedness,” literally, “the wickedness of your wickedness.” In their wickedness itself, there was an essence of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hosea 10:13-15

Hosea 10:13-15. Ye have ploughed wickedness Instead of working righteousness, (Hosea 10:12,) you have taken a great deal of pains in the service of sin, to compass your wicked designs. Ye have reaped iniquity Ye have, in return, received the fruit of iniquity, namely, punishment, or calamity. Ye have eaten the fruit of lies Fed yourselves with vain hopes, which have deceived and will deceive you. Or, you have trusted to that which has been only specious, not really satisfying or... read more
