Commentary on Hosea 11:7

Theological / Devotional

My people. How expressively this shows that notwithstanding all Israel’s guilt in persistent backsliding, the nation was still “my people” to God! Called them. Though Israel is called upward to fellowship with the Most High, it seemed as though no one cared to have this exalted experience. Corruption was so deep rooted in Israel that the people generally gave no response to the prophets’ pleas for this higher spiritual life.
