Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 5:15

_ _ return to my place — that is, withdraw My favor.

_ _ till they acknowledge their offence — The Hebrew is, “till they suffer the penalty of their guilt.” Probably “accepting the punishment of their guilt” (compare Zechariah 11:5) is included in the idea, as English Version translates. Compare Leviticus 26:40, Leviticus 26:41; Jeremiah 29:12, Jeremiah 29:13; Ezekiel 6:9; Ezekiel 20:43; Ezekiel 36:31.

_ _ seek my face — that is, seek My favor (Proverbs 29:26, Margin).

_ _ in ... affliction ... seek me early — that is, diligently; rising up before dawn to seek Me (Psalms 119:147; compare Psalms 78:34).
