Hosea 7:7 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They are all hot as an oven— The prophet here describes the punishment of their crimes, keeping up the similitude under which he represented those crimes; as much as to say, "Because they have grown hot with wine, &c. like an oven, they shall be burned like an oven with the same fire which they have kindled. In this fire their judges, &c. shall be consumed." See Houbigant.

All their kings are fallen The prophesy looks forward to the fall of the six last kings in perpetual succession, Zechariah, Shallum, Menahem, Pekahiah, Pekah, Hoshea.

Hosea 7:7

7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
