Hosea 9:14 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Give them a miscarrying womb— As a punishment for having inhumanly exposed their infants to death, by sacrificing them to their false gods; or, for having exposed them to the cruelty of the Assyrians, who destroyed them in war. The present passage is strikingly emphatical. But it is to be considered rather as a prediction of what was to happen as a punishment of their crimes, than as an imprecation.

Hosea 9:14

14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarryingd womb and dry breasts.
