Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 11:7

_ _ bent to backsliding — Not only do they backslide, and that too from ME, their “chief good,” but they are bent upon it. Though they (the prophets) called them (the Israelites) to the Most High (from their idols), “none would exalt (that is, extol or honor) Him.” To exalt God, they must cease to be “bent on backsliding,” and must lift themselves upwards.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 11:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 11:7

They — The prophets. None at all — Scarce any one would hearken and obey.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hosea 11:7

And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though (e) they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].

(e) That is, the Prophets.
