Commentary on Hosea 14:9

Theological / Devotional

Who is wise. Hosea closes his prophecy with the plea that his people give earnest attention to all the words the Lord has spoken through him. For a definition of true wisdom see on Prov. 1:2.

Shall walk in them. The issue was thus clearly placed before the Israelites. Two courses lay before them. They could either continue in their wicked ways and reap the inevitable results or they could turn wholeheartedly to God and obtain salvation. The Lord’s ways, being upright and unchangeable, will be accomplished despite what men might do (Mal. 3:6; James 1:17). If they are lost the blame will rest with them, for God has confronted them with every inducement to follow the way of right (Deut. 30:15-20).
