Hosea 5:7
_ _ treacherously — as to the marriage covenant (Jeremiah 3:20).
_ _ strange children — alluding to “children of whoredoms” (Hosea 1:2; Hosea 2:4). “Strange” or foreign implies that their idolatry was imported from abroad [Henderson]. Or rather, “regarded by God as strangers, not His,” as being reared in idolatry. The case is desperate, when not only the existing, but also the rising, generation is reared in apostasy.
_ _ a month — a very brief space of time shall elapse, and then punishment shall overtake them (Zechariah 11:8). The allusion seems to be to money loans, which were by the month, not as with us by the year. You cannot put it off; the time of your destruction is immediately and suddenly coming on you; just as the debtor must meet the creditor’s demand at the expiration of the month. The prediction is of the invasion of Tiglath-pileser, who carried away Reuben, Gad, Naphtali, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
_ _ portions — that is, possessions. Their resources and garrisons will not avail to save them. Henderson explains from Isaiah 57:6, “portions” as their idols; the context favors this, “the Lord” the true “portion of His people” (Deuteronomy 32:9), being in antithesis to “their portions,” the idols. |
Hosea 5:7
Have begotten — They have trained up their children in the same idolatry. A month — Possibly it may refer to Shallum's short time of usurpation, which lasted but a month; the Assyrians shall make a speedy conquest over you. With their portions — With all their substance. |
Hosea 5:7
They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten (f) strange children: now shall (g) a month devour them with their portions.
(f) That is, their children are degenerate, so that there is no hope in them.
(g) Their destruction is not far off. |

And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
