Oséias 10

Listen to Oséias 10
1 Israel era como videira viçosa;cobria-se de frutos.Quanto mais produzia,mais altares construía;Quanto mais sua terra prosperava,mais enfeitava suas colunas sagradas.
2 O coração deles é enganoso,e agora devem carregar sua culpa.O SENHOR demolirå os seus altarese destruirå suas colunas sagradas.
3 EntĂŁo eles dirĂŁo: “NĂŁo temos nenhum rei porquenĂŁo reverenciamos o SENHOR.Mas, mesmo que tivĂ©ssemos um rei,o que ele poderia fazer por nĂłs?”
4 Eles fazem muitas promessas,fazem juramentose acordos falsos;por isso brotam as demandascomo ervas venenosas num campo arado.
5 O povo que mora em Samariateme pelo ídolo em forma de bezerro de Bete-Áven.[a]Seu povo prantearå por ele,como também os seus sacerdotes idólatras,que se regozijavam por seu esplendor;porque foi tirado deles e levado para o exílio.
6 Sim, até ele serå levado para a Assíriacomo tributo para o grande rei.Efraim sofrerå humilhação;e Israel serå envergonhado por causa do seu ídolo de madeira.
7 Samaria e seu rei serĂŁo arrastadoscomo um graveto nas ĂĄguas.
8 Os altares da impiedade,[b]que foram os pecados de Israel, serão destruídos.Espinhos e ervas daninhas crescerãoe cobrirão os seus altares.Então eles dirão aos montes: “Cubram-nos!”,e às colinas: “Caiam sobre nós!”
9 “Desde os dias de GibeĂĄ, vocĂȘ pecou, Ăł Israel,e permaneceu assim.Acaso a guerra nĂŁo os alcançouem GibeĂĄ por causa dos malfeitores?
10 Quando eu quiser, eu os castigarei;naçÔes serĂŁo reunidas contra elespara prendĂȘ-los por causa do seu duplo pecado.
11 Efraim era bezerra treinada,gostava muito de trilhar;por isso colocareio jugo sobre o seu belo pescoço.Conduzirei Efraim,Judå terå que arar,e Jacó farå sulcos no solo.
12 Semeiem a retidĂŁo para si,colham o fruto da lealdadee façam sulcos no seu solo nĂŁo arado;pois Ă© hora de buscar o SENHOR,atĂ© que ele venhae faça chover justiça sobre vocĂȘs.
13 Mas vocĂȘs plantaram a impiedade,colheram o male comeram o fruto do engano.Visto que vocĂȘs tĂȘm confiado na sua prĂłpria forçae nos seus muitos guerreiros,
14 o fragor da batalha se levantarĂĄ contra vocĂȘs,de maneira que todas as suas fortalezas serĂŁo devastadas,como SalmĂŁ devastou Bete-Arbel no dia da batalha,quando mĂŁes foram pisadas e estraçalhadas junto com seus filhos.
15 Assim acontecerĂĄ com vocĂȘ, Ăł Betel,porque a sua impiedade Ă© grande.Quando amanhecer aquele dia,o rei de Israel serĂĄ completamente destruĂ­do.

Oséias 10 Commentary

Chapter 10

The idolatry of Israel. (1-8) They are exhorted to repentance. (9-15)

Verses 1-8 A vine is only valuable for its fruit; but Israel now brought no fruit to perfection. Their hearts were divided. God is the Sovereign of the heart; he will have all, or none. Were the stream of the heart wholly after God, it would run strongly, and bear down all before it. Their pretences to covenant with God were false. Even the proceeding of justice was as poisonous hemlock. Alas, how empty a vine is the visible church even at this day! But all earthly prosperity is but a collection of bubbles, soon destroyed like foam upon the water. Sinners will in vain seek shelter from that Judge, whom they now despise as a Saviour.

Verses 9-15 Because God does not desire the death and ruin of sinners, therefore in mercy he desires their chastisement. The children of iniquity still remained in Israel. The enemies would be gathered against them. It is just with God to make those know what hardships mean, who indulge themselves in ease and pleasure. Let them cleanse their hearts from all corrupt affections and lusts, and be a broken and contrite spirit. Let them abound in works of piety towards God, and of justice and charity towards one another: herein let them sow to the Spirit. Seeking the Lord is to be every day's work, but there are special occasions when to seek him. Christ shall come as the Lord our righteousness, and grant us of it abundantly. If we sow in righteousness, we shall reap according to mercy; a reward not of debt, but of grace. Even the gains of sin yield the sinner no satisfaction. As our comforts, so our confidences in the service of sin will certainly fail us. Come and seek the Lord, and thy hope in him shall not deceive thee. See what cruel work war makes. Whatever mischief is done, it is sin that does it. What miseries men's sins bring on them, even in this world!

Chapter Summary

INTRODUCTION TO HOSEA 10

This chapter is of the same argument with the former, and others before that; setting forth the sins of the ten tribes, and threatening them with the judgments of God for them; and exhorting them to repentance, and works of righteousness. They are charged with unfruitfulness and ingratitude; increasing in idolatry, as they increased in temporal good things, Ho 10:1; with a divided heart, and with irreverence of God, and their king; and with false swearing, covenant breaking, and injustice, Ho 10:2-4; and are threatened with a removal of their king, and with the destruction of their idols, and places of idolatry, which should cause fear in the common people, and mourning among the priests, Ho 10:1,5-8. It is observed, that their sin had been of long continuance, though the Lord had been kind and good unto them, in chastising them in love, giving them good laws, sending his prophets to exhort them to repentance and reformation, but all in vain, Ho 10:9-13; wherefore they are threatened with the spoiling of their fortresses, the destruction of the people, and the cutting off of their king, Ho 10:14,15.
