Hosea 7:1-16

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

EXPOSITION

This chapter may be divided into three sections. In the first section, including Hosea 7:1-7, the prophet reproves with much but deserved severity the depraved morals of king and princes. In the second section, consisting of Hosea 7:8-11, he rebukes their sinfulness, silliness, pride, and stupid obstinacy, notwithstanding the many manifest tokens of decay. Otherwise the first section deals with the internal corruption of the northern kingdom, and the second exposes their sinful and harmful foreign policy. The third section, continuing from the twelfth verse to the end of the chapter, that is, Hosea 7:12-16, threatens the infliction of punishment incurred by their gross wicked. Hess and base ingratitude to God.
