Hosea 4:19 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The whirlwind of wrath from God hath already seized this old adulteress, and carried some of her children away already, 2 Kings 15:19,29. Execution of judgment is already begun, and therefore, O Judah, keep distance from Ephraim. They shall be ashamed; greatly confounded and disappointed of their hopes: as thou, O Judah, wouldst prevent this shame, flee the society of these idolaters. Because of their sacrifices; what they made their confidence shall be their shame, their own idols cannot help them. but their idolatry shall surely undo them. Their idols which they worshipped and depended on shall be their shame and confusion, for thy God, O Judah, hath cursed such people. Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols, Psalms 97:7. If Israel do, yet, O Judah, do not thou so.

Hosea 4:19

19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
