Hosea 5:12
_ _ as a moth — consuming a garment (Job 13:28; Psalms 39:11; Isaiah 50:9).
_ _ Judah ... rottenness — Ephraim, or the ten tribes, are as a garment eaten by the moth; Judah as the body itself consumed by rottenness (Proverbs 12:4). Perhaps alluding to the superiority of the latter in having the house of David, and the temple, the religious center of the nation [Grotius]. As in Hosea 5:13, Hosea 5:14, the violence of the calamity is prefigured by the “wound” which “a lion” inflicts, so here its long protracted duration, and the certainty and completeness of the destruction from small unforeseen beginnings, by the images of a slowly but surely consuming moth and rottenness. |
Hosea 5:12
A moth — Moths leisurely eat up our clothes; so God was then, and had been, from Jeroboam's death, weakening the ten tribes. As rottenness — Secretly consuming them. |
- as a:
Job 13:28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
Isaiah 50:9 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Isaiah 51:8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
|
- as:
Proverbs 12:4 A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed [is] as rottenness in his bones.
|
- rottenness:
- or, a worm,
Jonah 4:7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
Mark 9:44-48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ... Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
