Hosea 4:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The sum of these words is this, that God will certainly punish; for the sins both of priests and people are such that God will no further forbear either; and when he comes to punish, he will do it according to the ways and doings of both; where sins have been equal, punishment shall be equal too, both priest and people shall be led into captivity, and there used without any differencing respect of one or other.

Hosea 4:9

9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punishe them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
