<< Hosea 9:6

Hosea 9:7

visitation—vengeance: punishment (Isaiah 10:3).

Israel shall know it—to her cost experimentally (Isaiah 9:9).

the prophet is a fool—The false prophet who foretold prosperity to the nation shall be convicted of folly by the event.

the spiritual man—the man pretending to inspiration (Lamentations 2:14; Ezekiel 13:3; Micah 3:11; Zephaniah 3:4).

for the multitude of thine iniquity, etc.—Connect these words with, "the days of visitation . . . are come"; "the prophet . . . is mad," being parenthetical.

the great hatred—or, "the great provocation" [HENDERSON]; or, "(thy) great apostasy" [MAURER]. English Version means Israel's "hatred" of God's prophets and the law.
