Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 11:6

_ _ abide — or, “fall upon” [Calvin].

_ _ branches — that is, his villages, which are the branches or dependencies of the cities [Calvin]. Grotius translates, “his bars” (so Lamentations 2:9), that is, the warriors who were the bulwarks of the state. Compare Hosea 4:18, “rulers” (Margin), “shields” (Psalms 47:9).

_ _ because of their own counsels — in worshipping idols, and relying on Egypt (compare Hosea 10:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 11:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 11:6

His branches — The lesser towns and villages. Their own counsels — Which they have followed in opposition to all the good counsels the prophets gave them from time to time.
