Hosea 4:1

HENCEFORTH THE PROPHET SPEAKS PLAINLY AND WITHOUT SYMBOL, IN TERSE, SENTENTIOUS PROPOSITIONS. (Hos. 4:1-19)

In this chapter he reproves the people and priests for their sins in the interregnum which followed Jeroboam's death; hence there is no mention of the king or his family; and in Hosea 4:2 bloodshed and other evils usual in a civil war are specified.

Israel—the ten tribes.

controversy—judicial ground of complaint (Isaiah 1:18; Jeremiah 25:31; Micah 6:2).

no . . . knowledge of God—exhibited in practice (Jeremiah 22:16).
