何西阿書 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 2:12

And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees
Which are mentioned for the rest, being the most fruitful and beneficial: this was done when Judea was invaded, overrun and wasted, by the Roman army; and when many were cut down, as Josephus observes, to build forts, and cast up mounts against Jerusalem; so that, he, says F12, the appearance of the earth was miserable, for what before was adorned with trees and gardens, looked now like a wilderness: whereof she hath said, these are my rewards that my lovers have given
me;
alluding to the hire of harlots, given them by their gallants; these she ascribed, as she did before her bread, water, wool, flax; and oil, ( Hosea 2:5 ) , not to God, the author and giver of them, but to the people her lovers, as the Targum; or to her idols, or to her beloved tenets, and doing according to them; and which is here mentioned as a reason of the divine resentment, and why he destroyed these fruitful trees: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat
them;
make the vines and fig trees like forest trees, barren and unfruitful; the fruitful land of Judea should be turned into a forest, or become like a desert or wilderness, and all the fruits of it should be eaten up by wild beasts; by their enemies, compared to the beasts of the field, particularly the Romans, the fourth beast; see ( Isaiah 56:9 ) ( Daniel 7:7 ) .

何西阿書 2:12 In-Context

10 如 今 我 必 在 她 所 愛 的 眼 前 顯 露 她 的 醜 態 ; 必 無 人 能 救 她 脫 離 我 的 手 。
11 我 也 必 使 她 的 宴 樂 、 節 期 、 月 朔 、 安 息 日 , 並 她 的 一 切 大 會 都 止 息 了 。
12 我 也 必 毀 壞 她 的 葡 萄 樹 和 無 花 果 樹 , 就 是 她 說 這 是 我 所 愛 的 給 我 為 賞 賜 的 。 我 必 使 這 些 樹 變 為 荒 林 , 為 田 野 的 走 獸 所 吃 。
13 我 必 追 討 她 素 日 給 諸 巴 力 燒 香 的 罪 ; 那 時 她 佩 帶 耳 環 和 別 樣 妝 飾 , 隨 從 她 所 愛 的 , 卻 忘 記 我 。 這 是 耶 和 華 說 的 。
14 後 來 我 必 勸 導 她 , 領 她 到 曠 野 , 對 她 說 安 慰 的 話 。
