Commentary on Hosea 4:7

Theological / Devotional

As they were increased. The nation was increased in population and in economic wealth, owing to the prosperity of Jeroboam II’s reign (see on ch. 2:8). However, the primary reference may still be to the priests (see on v. 6), who increased in wealth and power.

Shame. Heb. qalon, “ignominy,” or “dishonor.”
