Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 4:10

_ _ eat, and not have enough — just retribution on those who “eat up (greedily) the sin of My people” (Hosea 4:8; Micah 6:14; Haggai 1:6).

_ _ whoredom, and ... not increase — literally, “break forth”; used of giving birth to children (Genesis 28:14, Margin; compare Genesis 38:29). Not only their wives, but their concubines, shall be barren. To be childless was considered a great calamity among the Jews.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 4:6-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 4:10

Not have enough — They shall not be nourished, nor satisfied with what they eat. Shall not increase — They shall not hereby increase the number of their children, either the women shall not bear, or the children shall not live.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hosea 4:10

For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall (l) commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

(l) Showing that their wickedness will be punished in all ways: for even though they think by the multitude of wives to have many children, yet they will be deceived of their hope.
