Osea 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 4:11

Whoredom and wine, and new wine, take away the heart.
] Uncleanness and intemperance besot men, deprive them of reason and judgment, and even of common sense, make them downright fools, and so stupid as to do the following things; or they take away the heart from following the Lord, and taking heed to him, and lead to idolatry; or they "occupy" F26 the heart, and fill it up, and cause it to prefer sensual lusts and pleasures to the fear and love of God: their stupidity brought on hereby is exposed in the next verse; though it seems chiefly to respect the priests, who erred in vision through wine and strong drink, and stumbled in judgment, ( Isaiah 28:7 ) .

F26 (bl xqy) "occupant cor", so some in Calvin and Rivet; "occupavit cor", Schmidt.

Osea 4:11 In-Context

9 E sarà del sacerdote quello che del popolo: io lo punirò per la sua condotta, e gli darò la retribuzione delle sue azioni.
10 Mangeranno, ma non saranno saziati; si prostituiranno, ma non moltiplicheranno, perché hanno disertato il servizio dell’Eterno.
11 Prostituzione, vino e mosto tolgono il senno.
12 Il mio popolo consulta il suo legno, e il suo bastone gli dà delle istruzioni; poiché lo spirito della prostituzione lo svia, egli si prostituisce, sottraendosi al suo Dio.
13 Sacrificano sulla sommità dei monti, offron profumi sui colli, sotto la quercia, il pioppo e il terebinto, perché l’ombra n’è buona; perciò le vostre figliuole si prostituiscono, e le vostre nuore commettono adulterio.
