Hosea 9:11 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 9:11

[As for] Ephraim, their glory shall flee away like a bird,
&c.] That is, suddenly, swiftly, and irrecoverably, and never return more; which some understand of God their glory, and of his departure from them, as in ( Hosea 9:12 ) ; others of their wealth and riches, and whatever was glorious and valuable among them, which should fly away from them in a moment, when taken and carried captive; rather their numerous posterity, in which they were very fruitful, according to their name, and in which they gloried, as children are the glory of their parents, ( Proverbs 17:6 ) ; which sense agrees with what follows, and which explains the manner of their fleeing away, and the periods of it: from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception;
that is, some of them, as soon as they were born; others while in the womb, being abortives; or, however, when they should, or as soon as they did, come from thence; and others, as soon as conceived, never come to any thing; or not conceived at all, as Kimchi interprets it, the women being barren.

Hosea 9:11 In-Context

9 Tief haben sie sich verderbt wie in den Tagen von Gibea. Er wird ihrer Ungerechtigkeit gedenken, er wird ihre Sünden heimsuchen.
10 Ich fand Israel wie Trauben in der Wüste; wie eine Frühfrucht am Feigenbaum, in seinem ersten Triebe, ersah ich eure Väter. Sie aber gingen nach Baal-Peor und weihten sich der Schande, und sie wurden Greuel wie ihr Buhle.
11 Ephraim, dem Vogel gleich wird ihre Herrlichkeit wegfliegen. Kein Gebären und keine Schwangerschaft und keine Empfängnis:
12 ja, wenn sie auch ihre Söhne groß ziehen, so werde ich sie doch derselben berauben, so daß kein Mann mehr bleibt; denn wehe ihnen, wenn ich von ihnen weichen werde!
13 Ephraim, wie ich hinschaute, war ein Tyrus, auf der Aue gepflanzt; aber Ephraim muß seine Söhne zum Würger hinausbringen.
