Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 13:14

_ _ Applying primarily to God’s restoration of Israel from Assyria partially, and, in times yet future, fully from all the lands of their present long-continued dispersion, and political death (compare Hosea 6:2; Isaiah 25:8; Isaiah 26:19; Ezekiel 37:12). God’s power and grace are magnified in quickening what to the eye of flesh seems dead and hopeless (Romans 4:17, Romans 4:19). As Israel’s history, past and future, has a representative character in relation to the Church, this verse is expressed in language alluding to Messiah’s (who is the ideal Israel) grand victory over the grave and death, the first-fruits of His own resurrection, the full harvest to come at the general resurrection; hence the similarity between this verse and Paul’s language as to the latter (1 Corinthians 15:55). That similarity becomes more obvious by translating as the Septuagint, from which Paul plainly quotes; and as the same Hebrew word is translated in Hosea 13:10, “O death, where are thy plagues (paraphrased by the Septuagint, ‘thy victory’)? O grave, where is thy destruction (rendered by the Septuagint, ‘thy sting’)?” The question is that of one triumphing over a foe, once a cruel tyrant, but now robbed of all power to hurt.

_ _ repentance shall be hid from mine eyes — that is, I will not change My purpose of fulfilling My promise by delivering Israel, on the condition of their return to Me (compare Hosea 14:2-8; Numbers 23:19; Romans 11:29).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 13:9-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 13:14

Ransom — By power and purchase, by the blood of the lamb of God, and by the power of his Godhead. Them — That repent and believe. From the grave — He conquered the grave, and will at the great day of the resurrection open those prison — doors, and bring us out in glory. From death — From the curse of the first death, and from the second death, which shall have no power over us. Thy plagues — Thus I will destroy death. I will pull down those prison — walls, and bring out all that are confined therein, the bad of whom I will remove into other prisons, the good I will restore to glorious liberty. Repentance shall be hid — I will never, as a man that repenteths, change my word and purpose, saith the Lord. What a glorious promise is this, which is interposed in the midst of all these judgments!

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hosea 13:14

I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O (k) death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: (l) repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

(k) Meaning that no power will resist God when he will deliver his own, but even in death he will give them life.

(l) Because they will not turn to me, I will change my purpose.
