Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Hosea 13:14
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
14. Applying primarily to God's restoration of Israel from Assyria partially, and, in times yet future, fully from all the lands of their present long-continued dispersion, and political death (compare Hosea 6:2 ; Isaiah 25:8 ; Isaiah 26:19 ; Ezekiel 37:12 ). God's power and grace are magnified in quickening what to the eye of flesh seems dead and hopeless ( Romans 4:17 ; Romans 4:19 ). As Israel's history, past and future, has a representative character in relation to the Church, this verse is expressed in language alluding to Messiah's (who is the ideal Israel) grand victory over the grave and death, the first-fruits of His own resurrection, the full harvest to come at the general resurrection; hence the similarity between this verse and Paul's language as to the latter ( 1 Corinthians 15:55 ). That similarity becomes more obvious by translating as the Septuagint, from which Paul plainly quotes; and as the same Hebrew word is translated in Hosea 13:10 , "O death, where are thy plagues (paraphrased by the Septuagint, 'thy victory')? O grave, where is thy destruction (rendered by the Septuagint, 'thy sting')?" The question is that of one triumphing over a foe, once a cruel tyrant, but now robbed of all power to hurt. repentance shall be hid from mine eyes —that is, I will not change My purpose of fulfilling My promise by delivering Israel, on the condition of their return to Me (compare Hosea 14:2-8 ; Numbers 23:19 ; Romans 11:29 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
