Hosea 1:4 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Call his name Jezreel— For the honourable name of Israel is too good for this people. Call them therefore Jezreel, a people devoted to dispersion, and such as I will scatter unto the four winds of heaven, as the seedsman scattereth his seed.

For yet a little while And yet this little while was a long while, through God's gracious forbearance. Bad as this people were, they should not perish without repeated wanting.

Hosea 1:4

4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avengea the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
