Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 13:13

_ _ sorrows of a travailing woman — calamities sudden and agonizing (Jeremiah 30:6).

_ _ unwise — in not foreseeing the impending judgment, and averting it by penitence (Proverbs 22:3).

_ _ he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children — When Israel might deliver himself from calamity by the pangs of penitence, he brings ruin on himself by so long deferring a new birth unto repentance, like a child whose mother has not strength to bring it forth, and which therefore remains so long in the passage from the womb as to run the risk of death (2 Kings 19:3; Isaiah 37:3; Isaiah 66:9).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 13:9-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 13:13

The sorrows — The punishment of his sins will overtake him suddenly, with great anguish. An unwise son — A foolish son, who endangers himself and his mother. He should not stay — As a child that sticks in the birth, so is Ephraim, one while will, another while will not return to God; and thus dies under the delay.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
