Hosea 12:9 - John Wesley's Notes

Hosea 12:9

7 “A cunning¹ Canaanite!
^aDeceitful scales are in his hand;
He loves to oppress.

8 And Ephraim said,
^a‘Surely I have become rich,
I have found wealth for myself;
In all my labors
They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’

9 “But I am the Lord your God,
Ever since the land of Egypt;
^aI will again make you dwell in tents,
As in the days of the appointed feast.

10 ^aI have also spoken by the prophets,
And have multiplied visions;
I have given¹ symbols through the witness of the prophets.”

11 Though ^aGilead has idols—
Surely they are¹ vanity—
Though they sacrifice bulls in ^bGilgal,
Indeed their altars shall be heaps in the furrows of the field.

12 Jacob ^afled to the country of Syria;
^bIsrael served for a spouse,
And for a wife he tended sheep.

13 ^aBy a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt,
And by a prophet he was preserved.
