Commentary on Hosea 5:6

Theological / Devotional

Go with their flocks. With many and costly sacrifices Ephraim seeks to propitiate the Lord (see 1 Sam. 15:22; Hosea 6:6).

Shall not find him. The people of Israel were not moved by true repentance, but by fear of approaching affliction. Love to God, which yields obedience, was not in their hearts (see Heb. 12:16, 17; see on Gen. 27:38).
