Commentary

Commentary on Hosea 12:14

Theological / Devotional

Anger. Because of Ephraim’s falseness and lack of devotion, he provoked the Lord to bitter anger. Ephraim’s guilt and punishment would not be removed. See on Judges 2:20; 2 Kings 13:3. Blood. Ephraim had shed blood profusely (see chs. 4:2; 5:2). Reproach. The dishonor that Ephraim offered to God through idolatry and iniquity shall return unto him. Those who rebel against God and bring reproach upon His name must expect divine retribution (see 1 Sam. 2:30).
