Commentary on Hosea 5:2

Theological / Devotional

Revolters. The Hebrew of the first half of v. 2 is uncertain.

I have been a rebuker. Willful and desperately sinful men may abandon all the criteria of righteousness, but God cannot be put out of the human conscience and experience (see Acts 26:14). No other witness against the sinner is needed than his own conscience. The wicked cannot deceive the all-knowing Rebuker nor evade the penalty of their wrongdoing (Ps. 33:13-15; Heb. 4:13).
