Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 4:5

_ _ fall in the day — in broad daylight, a time when an attack would not be expected (see on Jeremiah 6:4, Jeremiah 6:5; see on Jeremiah 15:8).

_ _ in ... night — No time, night or day, shall be free from the slaughter of individuals of the people, as well as of the false prophets.

_ _ thy mother — the Israelitish state, of which the citizens are the children (Hosea 2:2).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 4:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 4:5

Therefore — The prophet turns his speech to the people, thou O Israel; he speaks to them as to one person. Fall — Stumble, and fall, and be broken. This day — Very suddenly; your fall shall be no longer delayed. The prophet — Prophesied lies. In the night — In the darkest calamities. Thy mother — Both the state, or kingdom; and the synagogues, or churches: the publick is as a mother to private persons, so all shall be destroyed.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hosea 4:5

Therefore shalt thou fall in the (d) day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy (e) mother.

(d) You will both perish together as one, because the former would not obey, and the other, because he would not admonish.

(e) That is, the synagogue in which you boast.
