Hosea 7:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

They are all hot as an oven - all burn with eagerness to cause universal disturbance, (2 Kings 15:1-38.)

And have devoured their judges - magistrates; as the fire of the oven devours the fuel.

All their kings are fallen - see notes at the beginning of this chapter. Pusey makes the kings fallen to be Zachariah and Shallam (2 Kings 15:10-15, B.C. 772).

None among them that calleth unto me - such is their perversity that amidst all these national calamities, none seeks help from me (Isaiah 9:13; Isaiah 64:7).
