Hosea 8:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 8:7

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.

9 For they have gone up to Assyria,
Like ^aa wild donkey alone by itself;
Ephraim ^bhas hired lovers.

10 Yes, though they have hired among the nations,
Now ^aI will gather them;
And they shall¹ sorrow a little,
Because of the¹ burden of ^bthe king of princes.

11 “Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin,
They have become for him altars for sinning.

12 I have written for him ^athe great things of My law,
But they were considered a strange thing.
