Commentary on Hosea 7:2

Theological / Devotional

Consider not. So absorbed had Israel become in their crimes and transgressions that they no longer heard the “still small voice” of conscience (1 Kings 19:12). They failed to realize that they must someday appear before the judgment seat of God (Eccl. 12:14; 2 Cor. 5:10). They had forgotten that all of their actions were under the continuous scrutiny of the Lord (see Ps. 33:13-15; 90:8; Jer. 16:17; Heb. 4:13).

Their own doings. The figure is of their own iniquities besieging them as the enemies of their souls. Soon the citadels of conscience and righteous desire will utterly fall in defeat (see Prov. 5:22).
