Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Hosea 10:10
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
10. my desire . . . chastise —expressing God's strong inclination to vindicate His justice against sin, as being the infinitely holy God ( Deuteronomy 28:63 ). the people — Foreign invaders "shall be gathered against them." when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows —image from two oxen ploughing together side by side, in two contiguous furrows: so the Israelites shall join themselves, to unite their powers against all dangers, but it will not save them from My destroying them [CALVIN]. Their "two furrows" may refer to their two places of setting up the calves, their ground of confidence, Dan and Beth-el; or, the two divisions of the nation, Israel and Judah, "in their two furrows," that is, in their respective two places of habitation; Hosea 10:11 , which specifies the two, favors this view. HENDERSON prefers the Keri ( Hebrew Margin ) "for their two iniquities "; and translates, "when they are bound" in captivity. English Version is best, as the image is carried out in Hosea 10:11 ; only it is perhaps better to translate, "the people (the invaders) binding them, " that is, making them captives; and so Hosea 10:11- : alludes to the yoke being put on the neck of Ephraim and Judah. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
