Hosea 11:9
_ _ I will not return to destroy Ephraim — that is, I will no more, as in past times, destroy Ephraim. The destruction primarily meant is probably that by Tiglath-pileser, who, as the Jewish king Ahaz’ ally against Pekah of Israel and Rezin of Syria, deprived Israel of Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali (2 Kings 15:29). The ulterior reference is to the long dispersion hereafter, to be ended by God’s covenant mercy restoring His people, not for their merits, but of His grace.
_ _ God, ... not man — not dealing as man would, with implacable wrath under awful provocation (Isaiah 55:7-9; Malachi 3:6). I do not, like man, change when once I have made a covenant of everlasting love, as with Israel (Numbers 23:19). We measure God by the human standard, and hence are slow to credit fully His promises; these, however, belong to the faithful remnant, not to the obstinately impenitent.
_ _ in the midst of thee — as peculiarly thy God (Exodus 19:5, Exodus 19:6).
_ _ not enter into the city — as an enemy: as I entered Admah, Zeboim, and Sodom, utterly destroying them, whereas I will not utterly destroy thee. Somewhat similarly Jerome: “I am not one such as human dwellers in a city, who take cruel vengeance; I save those whom I correct.” Thus “not man,” and “in the midst of thee,” are parallel to “into the city.” Though I am in the midst of thee, it is not as man entering a rebellious city to destroy utterly. Maurer needlessly translates, “I will not come in wrath.” |
Hosea 11:9
Return — Conquerors that plunder the conquered city, carry away the wealth of it, and after some time return to burn it; God will not do so. Not man — Therefore my compassions fail not. The holy One — A holy God, and in covenant, though not with all, yet with many among you. Enter into the city — Utterly to destroy thee, as I did Sodom. |
Hosea 11:9
I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I [am] God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not (i) enter into the city.
(i) To consume you, but will cause you to yield, and so have mercy on you: and this is meant of the final number who will walk after the Lord. |
