Hosea 6:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

I have seen: it may be understood of the prophet speaking what he had seen; or of God, who seeth now, and hath seen, an horrible thing, a very horrible thing, as some observe from the word, in the house of Israel, the ten tribes. The whoredom, idolatry, of Ephraim; which was brought in by an Ephraimite, by Jeroboam the First, two hundred years ago, and it is there still. Israel is defiled; it hath overspread all Israel, none free, but all defiled greatly with it.
