Commentary on Hosea 4:5
Theological / DevotionalShall fall. Heb. kashal, “to stumble,” “to stagger,” or “to totter.” So relentless would be the coming calamities that at no time, day or night, would any escape, whether they be people or priests.
Destroy thy mother. That is, the nation of Israel itself (see ch. 2:2-5). The LXX reads, “I have compared thy mother unto night,” conveying the thought that Israel would go into the dark night of sorrow, distress, and the silence of destruction at the time of her captivity.
