Oséias 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.

Oséias 9:11 In-Context

9 Eles mergulharam na corrupção,como nos dias de Gibeá.Deus se lembrará de sua iniquidadee os castigará por seus pecados.

10 “Quando encontrei Israel,foi como encontrar uvas no deserto;quando vi os antepassados de vocês,foi como ver os primeiros frutos de uma figueira.Mas, quando eles vieram a Baal-Peor,consagraram-se àquele ídolo vergonhosoe se tornaram tão repugnantes quanto aquilo que amaram.

11 A glória de Efraim lhe fugirá como pássaro:nenhum nascimento, nenhuma gravidez, nenhuma concepção.

12 Mesmo que criem filhos,porei de luto cada um deles.Ai deles quando eu me afastar!

13 Vi Efraim,plantado num lugar agradável, como Tiro.Mas Efraim entregaráseus filhos ao matador”.
