Commentary on Hosea 9:13

Theological / Devotional

Ephraim. The Hebrew of the first half of this verse is somewhat obscure. The LXX for this clause reads, “Ephraim, as I saw, gave their children for a prey.” Murderer. Probably no ancient nation was more cruel to a conquered foe than were the Assyrians (see ch. 10:14).
