Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 9:10

_ _ As the traveler in a wilderness is delighted at finding grapes to quench his thirst, or the early fig (esteemed a great delicacy in the East, Isaiah 28:4; Jeremiah 24:2; Micah 7:1); so it was My delight to choose your fathers as My peculiar people in Egypt (Hosea 2:15).

_ _ at her first time — when the first-fruits of the tree become ripe.

_ _ went to Baal-peor — (Numbers 25:3): the Moabite idol, in whose worship young women prostituted themselves; the very sin Israel latterly was guilty of.

_ _ separated themselves — consecrated themselves.

_ _ unto that shame — to that shameful or foul idol (Jeremiah 11:13).

_ _ their abominations were according as they loved — rather, as Vulgate, “they became abominable like the object of their love” (Deuteronomy 7:26; Psalms 115:8). English Version gives good sense, “their abominable idols they followed after, according as their lusts prompted them” (Amos 4:5, Margin).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 9:7-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Separated themselves — Consecrated themselves to that shameful idol. Their abominations — Their idols, and way of worshipping them. As they loved — As they fancied.
