Hosea 6:7-11 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

We find here the same melancholy account, as in the other parts of this prophecy; the Lord complaining of his people's apostacy; Gilead and the house of Israel; Ephraim and Judah; all alike transgressors. Alas! what but the blood of Christ can expiate the offences of the Lord's people!

Hosea 6:7-11

7 But they like menb have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is pollutedc with blood.

9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
