Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 12:14

_ _ provoked him — that is, God.

_ _ leave his blood upon him — not take away the guilt and penalty of the innocent blood shed by Ephraim in general, and to Molech in particular.

_ _ his reproach shall his Lord return unto him — Ephraim’s dishonor to God in worshipping idols, God will repay to him. That God is “his Lord” by right redemption and special revelation to Ephraim only aggravates his guilt, instead of giving him hope of escape. God does not give up His claim to them as His, however they set aside His dominion.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 12:7-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 12:14

His blood — He shall bear the punishment of all his blood; his murders of the innocent, and his own guilt too. His reproach — Which Ephraim hath cast upon the prophets, the worshippers of God, and on God; preferring idols before him. His Lord — God who is Lord of all.
