When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty through Baal, he died. See also: Hosea 11:2Genesis 2:17Luke 14:11Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, ‘They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.’ See also: Isaiah 46:6Isaiah 44:17-201 Kings 19:18Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney. See also: Psalms 1:4Hosea 6:4Psalms 68:2“Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior. See also: Isaiah 45:21-22Exodus 20:2-3Hosea 12:9I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. See also: Deuteronomy 32:10Deuteronomy 2:7Deuteronomy 8:15According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me. See also: Deuteronomy 32:13-15Deuteronomy 8:12-14Psalms 10:4Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path. See also: Jeremiah 5:6Hosea 5:14Lamentations 3:10I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them. See also: 2 Samuel 17:8Isaiah 5:29Psalms 50:22You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper. See also: Jeremiah 2:17Jeremiah 2:19Deuteronomy 33:26Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’? See also: Hosea 8:41 Samuel 8:5-6Hosea 10:3I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath. See also: 1 Samuel 10:191 Samuel 16:1Proverbs 28:2The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up. See also: Deuteronomy 32:34-35Job 14:17Romans 2:5The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son, for when it is time, he doesn’t come to the opening of the womb. See also: Isaiah 37:3Isaiah 13:8Isaiah 26:17I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes. See also: Isaiah 25:81 Corinthians 15:52-57Revelation 21:4Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure. See also: Ezekiel 19:12Ezekiel 17:10Jeremiah 4:11Samaria will bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.” See also: 2 Kings 8:122 Kings 15:16Psalms 137:8-9

Notes · Haydock (1859, public domain)14 notes
Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3). Christian unity
Hosea 13:1
Ver. 1. Spoke. When Jeroboam proposed to erect the golden calves, people were seized with horror; yet they consented, and soon after Baal and other idols were worshipped. W. --- Ephraim was one of the greatest tribes, and by its example the rest were drawn into idolatry. Achab principally introduced the worship of Baal, which caused God to decree the misery of his people.
3 K. xvi. 31.
↑ 1Hosea 13:2
Ver. 2. Calves. A cutting reproach! Those who could stoop to adore a calf, might be so blind as to sacrifice men! Heb. "sacrifice, ye men who," &c.
Jeroboam issues this edict. C. --- Sept.
"immolate men; calves are wanting." H.
↑ 2Hosea 13:3
Ver. 3. Away. C. vi. 4. --- Chimney, or hole, at the side or top of the room. C. ---
Heb. arubba, (H.) means also "a locust," as the Sept. render it, though here it affords no sense.
↑ 3Hosea 13:5
Ver. 5. Knew: treated thee with kindness, or tried thee. C.
↑ 5Hosea 13:6
Ver. 6. Pastures: the more they were indulged. H. Deut. xxxii. 15.
↑ 6Hosea 13:7
Ver. 7. Lioness. Sept. "panther." I will pursue them even in their captivity.
↑ 7Hosea 13:8
Ver. 8. Whelps; with the greatest fury. 2 K. xvii. 8. --- Inner. Heb. "what encloses the heart;" or, I will break their hard heart. C.
↑ 8Hosea 13:9
Ver. 9. Own. Evils are brought on by the sins of men, which God does not cause. W. --- Sept.
"who will aid to prevent thy perdition, O Israel." H. --- God alone is the author of salvation. He also punishes, (Amos iii. 6.) but for man's amendment in life.
W.
↑ 9Hosea 13:10
Ver. 10. Princes. It was on this pretext that a king was demanded. 1 K. viii. 20.
Will any now save you? M.
↑ 10Hosea 13:11
Ver. 11. King; Saul, Jeroboam, or the Assyrian. --- Away. Osee, (C.) so that you shall have no more kings of Israel. H. --- Sept. alone have, "I took (C.) or had him in," &c. S. Jer.
↑ 11Hosea 13:12
Ver. 12. Hidden. He thinks to escape. H. --- But I keep it like pieces of silver, bound up in my treasury. S. Jer. C.
↑ 12Hosea 13:13
Ver. 13. Him. He shall be taken when he least expects it. His fruit shall come forth. Jer. iv. 31.
--- Children. He shall have no share in the division of property, or shall not escape when the father shall bring his children to an account. The Chal. &c.
insinuate, that the infant affords no help to come forth, as it would if it had sense. C.
↑ 13Hosea 13:14
Ver. 14. Death. This must be understood of eternal misery, from which the just are preserved.
All must die, and many suffered a violent death from the Assyrians. W. --- After denouncing the severest judgments, the prophet promises redress and a sort of resurrection, which was a figure of the real sufferings and rising of Jesus Christ. The apostle applies this text to him, but follows not the Heb. or Sept. 1
Cor. xv. 55. C. --- Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? Prot. read, O grave, (marg. hell) instead of the latter death.
Heb. ehi has been twice placed for aie, I will be instead of where? (H.) as the Gr. Arab. and Syr.
versions, as wll as the context, evince. All the versions prove the same corruption to be. v. 10.
Kennicott, Aquila, and the 5. edit. read where? Sym. I will be: (S. Jer.) so that the change probably took place between A. 130 and 200. Sept. "Where is thy cause gained, ( in a lawsuit, or thy justice; dike. H.) O death?" &c. --- Eyes. I can find no consolation, (S. Jer.) because the people cause dissension by their perseverance in evil. Hebrew also, "repentance," &c. I will utterly destroy Ephraim; or rather, "vengeance...because he shall flourish," &c. If Ephraim would repent, this should not take place; but now, the Lord will bring Salmanasar, a burning wind. v.
15. C.
