Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 4:7

_ _ As they were increased — in numbers and power. Compare Hosea 4:6, “thy children,” to which their “increase” in numbers refers.

_ _ so they sinned — (Compare Hosea 10:1 and Hosea 13:6).

_ _ will I change their glory into shame — that is, I will strip them of all they now glory in (their numbers and power), and give them shame instead. A just retribution: as they changed their glory into shame, by idolatry (Psalms 106:20; Jeremiah 2:11; Romans 1:23; Philippians 3:19).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 4:6-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 4:7

As they — Kings, priests, and people. Were increased — In number, in riches, and honour. So they sinned — Sin grew with their wealth and honour. Their glory — They turned all that in which they might glory above others, into sin. I will turn it into their dishonour.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hosea 4:7

As they were (h) increased, so they sinned against me: [therefore] will I change their glory into shame.
