John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:2

Verse 2 The verb שחט, shecheth, means, to kill, to sacrifice; and this place is usually explained of sacrifices; and this opinion I do not reject. But though the Prophet spake of sacrifices, he no doubt called sacrificing, in contempt, killing: as though one should call the temple, the shambles, and the killing of victims, slaughtering, so also the Prophet says, In sacrificing and killing, they, having turned aside, have become deeply fixed; that is, By turning aside to their own sacrificing,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:3

Verse 3 God shows here that he is not pacified by the vain excuses which hypocrites allege, and by which they think that the judgment of God himself can be turned away. We see what great dullness there is in many, when God reproves them, and brings to light their vices; for they defend themselves with vain and frivolous excuses, and think that they thus put a restraint on God, so that he dares not urge them any more. In this way hypocrites elude every truth. But God here testifies, that men are... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 5:4

Verse 4 Some translate thus, “their inclinations allow them not to turn themselves;” and this meaning is probable, that is, that they were so much given to their own superstitions, that they were not now free, or at liberty, to return to the right way; as though the Prophet said, “They are entirely enslaved by their own diabolical inventions, that their inclinations will not allow them to repent.” But the former meaning (it is also more generally approved) seems more adapted to the context.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:1

EXPOSITION Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king. The persons here addressed comprise all the estates of the realm—priests, people, and princes. The house of Israel is the northern kingdom; and the house of the king is the members of the king's family, of his court and of his government. Thus the rulers and the ruled, the spiritual teachers and the taught, are comprehended in this address. Neither priestly office, nor popular... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:1-3

National depravity. "Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled." "With the words, 'Hear ye this,' the reproof of the sins of Israel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:1-5

God here arraigns the sins of princes, priests, and people. Their degeneracy had been very great and their sins very grievous. Though there is no formal catalogue given of those sins, yet they are incidentally exhibited in the reproofs and rebukes which follow. I. ALL CLASSES ARE ADDRESSED BY THE DIVINE WORD . It is directed to the high and to the low alike; to the rich and to the poor; it speaks to every grade in society and every rank in life; there is none so high as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:1-7

God and man. All classes are addressed by the prophet—priests, king, nobles, the whole house of Israel. The prophecy makes an advance. In the previous chapter judgment is threatened; in this it is announced as imminent. Judah also is menaced with punishment ( Hosea 5:5 , Hosea 5:10 , Hosea 5:12 ). I. GOD WILL ENSNARE THE ENSNARERS . ( Hosea 5:1 ) The dignitaries-priests, kings, and nobles—had led the people astray. They had put stumbling-blocks in their way. They had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:1-10

National sin and punishment. The general strain of this chapter is similar to that of the preceding. "The judgment" ( Hosea 5:1 ) which has already been pronounced there is still continued. In Hosea 4:1-19 ; however, Judah was addressed as occupying a different position, morally and religiously, from Israel; whereas here the southern kingdom is represented as sharing in Israel's guilt and condemnation. It would appear, therefore, that when the warning of Hosea 4:15 was uttered,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:2

And the revolters are profound to make slaughter (or, profuse in murders or in sacrifices , or in dealing corruptly ), though I have been a rebuker of them all (rather, but I am [ bent upon ] chastisement for them all ). The literal rendering of the first clause is, slaughtering they have made deep , which is an idiom analogous to "they have deeply revolted;" literally, "they have made revolting deep" ( Isaiah 31:6 ). The slaughtering, though understood by Wunsche of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hosea 5:3

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me. All attempts at concealment are vain, though sinners try ever so much to hide their sins from the Divine Majesty. However deep they dig downward, God will bring their evil doings up and out to the light of day and punish them. For now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled. Israel is the northern kingdom, and Ephraim, being the most powerful tribe, is often identified with Israel; here, however, they are... read more
