Hosea 12:8
_ _ And — that is, Notwithstanding.
_ _ Yet I am ... rich — I regard not what the prophets say: I am content with my state, as I am rich (Revelation 3:17). Therefore, in just retribution, this is the very language of the enemy in being the instrument of Israel’s punishment. Zechariah 11:5 : “They that sell them say ... I am rich.” Far better is poverty with honesty, than riches gained by sin.
_ _ my labours — my gains by labor.
_ _ they shall find none — that is, none shall find any.
_ _ iniquity ... that were sin — iniquity that would bring down the penalty of sin. Ephraim argues, My success in my labors proves that I am not a guilty sinner as the prophets assert. Thus sinners pervert God’s long-suffering goodness (Matthew 5:45) into a justification of their impenitence (compare Ecclesiastes 8:11-13). |
