Hosea 11:7 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

My people are bent to backsliding from me Many versions render this clause, Nevertheless, my people are in suspense (or hesitate) about returning to me; though they called them to the Most High Though my prophets, and other pious persons, invited and exhorted them to return to my worship and service; none at all would exalt him Scarce any would hearken and obey. The word him not being in the Hebrew, some versions read, None would raise himself up, or advance; that is, come forward to obey and serve me.

Hosea 11:7

7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
