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 2:9

Therefore will I return, and take away ,.... Or, "take away again" F11 אשוב ולקחתי "iterum capiam", Drusius; "recipiam", Liveleus. ; an usual Hebraism: my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof ; for though these are the gifts of God to men for their use, and to dispose of for the good of others; yet he retains his property in them, and can and will call them to an account for their stewardship; and, when he pleases, take away both their office, and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 2:10

And now will I discover her lewdness in the lovers ,.... The people, her lovers, as the Targum; which is by many understood of the Egyptians and Assyrians; but rather means the Romans, whom the Jews courted as their friends: though it seems best to interpret it in a more general way, that the sin and folly of the Jews in rejecting Christ, and adhering to their beloved tenets, should be discovered and made manifest to all in the most public manner by their punishment; by being scattered among... read more

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hosea 2:12

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

And, I will visit upon her the days of Baalim ,.... That is, punish them for all the idolatries committed by their forefathers, in the days that the several Baals, as Baalpeor, and Baalberith, and others, were worshipped by them; they their children, though not worshipping these Baalim, yet other lords, lusts and idols, they set up of themselves, and in their own hearts; see Matthew 23:32 , wherein she burnt incense to them ; to the Baalim; this one species of idolatrous worship being... read more
