Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Hosea 8:2

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

2. My God, we know thee —the singular, "My," is used distributively, each one so addressing God. They, in their hour of need, plead their knowledge of God as the covenant-people, while in their acts they acknowledge Him not (compare Matthew 7:21 ; Matthew 7:22 ; Titus 1:16 ; also Isaiah 29:13 ; Jeremiah 7:4 ). The Hebrew joins "Israel," not as English Version, with "shall cry," but " We, Israel, know thee"; God denies the claim thus urged on the ground of their descent from Israel. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
