Hosea 7:2

Hosea 7:2

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

And they consider not in their hearts (margin, say not to their heart) that I remember all their wickedness. Between the common reading libravken and bilravken found in several manuscripts by Kennicott and De Rossi, there is a not unimportant difference.

The latter, equivalent to saying "in their heart," which is the usual expression, denotes one's inward thoughts or reasonings with himself; the former, equivalent to saying "to their heart," is an address to, or remonstrance with, the heart with the view of restraining its evil purposes.

God's remembrance of wickedness imports its punishment. Now their own doings have beset them about.
