Oseas 4:11

11 a la prostitución y al vino,¡al mosto que hace perder la razón!

Oseas 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 ) .

Oseas 4:11 In-Context

9 ¡De tal pueblo, tal sacerdote!¡Por eso les pediré cuentas de su conductay les daré la paga de sus acciones!

10 »Comerán, pero no quedarán satisfechos;se prostituirán, pero no se saciarán;porque han abandonado al SEÑORpara entregarse

11 a la prostitución y al vino,¡al mosto que hace perder la razón!

12 Mi pueblo consulta a su ídolo de madera,y ese pedazo de palo le responde;su tendencia a prostituirse los descarría;se prostituyen en abierto desafío a su Dios.

13 En la cumbre de montes y colinasqueman ofrendas y ofrecen sacrificios,bajo la agradable sombrade robles, álamos y encinas.Por eso se prostituyen sus hijasy cometen adulterio sus nueras.
