Hosea 5:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I will go and return to my place: after the manner of man God speaks, he will do that which shall be like a man's going away from such as refuse though they need his help, he retires; God will withdraw his saving help. Till they acknowledge their offence; till they confess and humble themselves for their sins. And seek my face; me their God, my mercy, and my law; their Sovereign as well as Saviour. In their affliction they will seek me early; in deep distresses they will, at least some will, seek me diligently, as indeed they did at the end of Judah's seventy years captivity.

Hosea 5:15

15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
