Hosea 4:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Whoredom; unlawful converse with wanton women, the forbidden pleasures of an adulterous bed. And wine and new wine; excess of drinking, and indeed all immoderate pleasures; one kind being put for all. Take away the heart; besot men, and deprive them of the right use of their Understanding and judgment. By these courses both priests and people here have disabled themselves to discern aright between good and bad, between safe and dangerous.

Hosea 4:11

11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
