Hosea 12:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 12:8

6 ^aSo you, by the help of your God, return;
Observe mercy and justice,
And wait on your God continually.

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.”
