Hosea 7:7 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 7:7

They are all hot as an oven
Eager upon their idolatry, or burning in their unclean desires after other men's wives; or rather raging and furious, hot with anger and wrath against their rulers and governors, breathing out slaughter and death unto them: and have devoured their judges;
that stood in the way of their lusts, reproved them for them, and restrained them from them; or were on the side of the king they conspired against, and were determined to depose and slay: all their kings have fallen;
either into sin, the sin of idolatry particularly, as all from Jeroboam the first did, down to Hoshea the last; or they fell into calamities, or by the sword of one another, as did most of them; so Zachariah by Shallum, Shallum by Menahem, Pekahiah by Pekah, and Pekah by Hoshea; see ( 2 Kings 15:1-38 ) . So the Targum,

``all their kings are slain:''
[there is] none among them that calleth unto me;
either among the kings, when their lives were in danger from conspirators; or none among the people, when their land was in distress, either by civil wars among themselves, or by a foreign enemy; such was their stupidity, and to such a height was irreligion come to among them!

Hosea 7:7 In-Context

5 Het is de dag onzes konings; de vorsten maken hem krank door verhitting van den wijn; hij strekt zijn hand voort met de spotters.
6 Want zij voeren hun hart aan, als een bakoven, tot hun lagen; hunlieder bakker slaapt den gansen nacht; 's morgens brandt hij als een vlammend vuur.
7 Zij zijn allen te zamen verhit als een bakoven, en zij verteren hun rechters; al hun koningen vallen; er is niemand onder hen, die tot Mij roept.
8 Efraim, die verwart zich met de volken; Efraim is een koek, die niet is omgekeerd;
9 Vreemden verteren zijn kracht, en hij merkt het niet; ook is de grauwigheid op hem verspreid, en hij merkt het niet.
