Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 5:6

_ _ with ... flocks — to propitiate Jehovah (Isaiah 1:11-15).

_ _ seek ... not find — because it is slavish fear that leads them to seek Him; and because it then shall be too late (Proverbs 1:28; John 7:34).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 5:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 5:6

To seek the Lord — The Jewish doctors tell us, that under Hosea, Israel had liberty of bringing their sacrifices to Jerusalem. Shall not find him — God will not be found of them. Hath withdrawn himself — For their impenitency.
