Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 2:13

_ _ days of Baalim — the days consecrated to the Baals, or various images of Baal in different cities, whence the names Baal-gad, Baal-hermon, etc.

_ _ decked herself with ... earrings — rather, “nose-rings” (Isaiah 3:21; Ezekiel 16:12, Margin), with which harlots decked themselves to attract admirers: answering to the ornaments in which the Israelites decked themselves on the idols’ feasts.

_ _ forgat me — worse than the nations which had never known God. Israel willfully apostatized from Jehovah, whom she had known.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 2:6-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 2:13

Visit — Punish. The days — The sins of those days. Of Baalim — Baal was the great idol of the ten tribes; here it is plural Baalim, to denote the multitude of idols which they worshipped, all called by this one name. Decked herself — To put the greater honour on the idol.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hosea 2:13

And I will visit upon her the days of (n) Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her (o) earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.

(n) I will punish her for her idolatry.

(o) By showing how harlots trim themselves to please others, he declares how superstitious idolaters set a great part of their religion in adorning themselves on their holy days.
