Hosea 9:5:
|
What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, in the day of
the feast of the Lord?
|
9:7:
|
The days of visitation are come (same word in LXX as Luke
21:22).
|
9:8:
|
As for the Prophet, a fowler's snare is in all his ways, and
enmity in the house of his God.
|
9:9:
|
They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of
Gibeah (Gabbatha): he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins
(Lk. 19:44).
|
9:10:
|
I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the
fig-tree.
|
9:12:
|
Though they bring up children, yet will I bereave them (Lk.
19:44) . . . yea, woe also to them when I depart from them.
|
9:14:
|
Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts (this is Lk.
23:29).
|
9:15:
|
All their wickedness is in Gilgal (Golgotha-same root): for
there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will love them no more:
all their princes are revolters.
|
9:16:
|
Ephraim (=fruitful) is smitten, their root is dried up, they
shall bear no fruit (the cursing of the figtree:Mk. 11:20).
|
9:17:
|
My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto
him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
|
10:1:
|
Israel is an empty vine (cf. I am the True Vine).
|
10:3:
|
For now they shall say, We have no king (but Caesar: Jn.
19:15), because we fear not the Lord; and the king (i.e. God's king), what can
he do for us?
|
10:5:
|
The glory thereof is departed from it (Mt. 23:38).
|
10:8:
|
The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and
they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fallon us
(Lk. 23:30).
|
10:15:
|
So shall it be done unto you at the house of God (RVm) because
of your great wickedness; at daybreak (Jn. 19:14) shall the king of Israel be
utterly cutoff.

|
Laid hold implies rough treatment. The other "laid"
(same verse) is the same as in Gen. 22:6 LXX.
|
|
Simon, a Cyrenion Kurenaios might also be read as an
echo of kureo, light upon (Mt. 27:32) or of kuriou naos, temple of
the Lord.
|
|
Bear it after Jesus 14:27; 1 Pet. 2:21; Heb 13:13;
Pr.24:16a, where note "riseth up again" (s.w. Mk.5:41). With v.16b cp. Acts
1:18.
|
29.
|
Blessed are the barren. What a contrast with
11:27!
|
30.
|
Cover us. When at last the Romans captured Jerusalem in
A.D.70, many Jews hid in sewers and underground caves. In Rev. 6:16 Jesus uses
again the same Hosea prophecy-for a completely different fulfilment, or the
same?
