Hosea 8:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 8:5

3 Israel has rejected the good;
The enemy will pursue him.

4 “They^a set up kings, but not by Me;
They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.
From their silver and gold
They made idols for themselves—
That they might be cut off.

5 Your¹ calf is rejected, O Samaria!
My anger is aroused against them—
^aHow long until they attain to innocence?

6 For from Israel is even this:
A ^aworkman made it, and it is not God;
But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.

7 “They^a sow the wind,
And reap the whirlwind.
The stalk has no bud;
It shall never produce meal.
If it should produce,
^bAliens would swallow it up.

8 ^aIsrael is swallowed up;
Now they are among the Gentiles
^bLike a vessel in which is no pleasure.
