Hosea Chapter 01 Matthew Henry Commentary Concise

Hosea is supposed to have been of the kingdom of Israel. He lived and prophesied during a long period. The scope of his predictions appears to be, to detect, reprove, and convince the Jewish nation in general, and the Israelites in particular, of their many sins, particularly their idolatry: the corrupt state of the kingdom is also noticed. But he invites them to repentance, with promises of mercy, and gospel predictions of the future restoration of the Israelites and of the Jews, and their final conversion to Christianity.

Under a figure, is represented the shameful idolatry of the ten tribes. (1-7)
The calling of the Gentiles, and the uniting Israel and Judah under the Messiah. (8-11)

Verses 1-7 Israel was prosperous, yet then Hosea boldly tells them of their sins, and foretells their destruction. Men are not to be flattered in sinful ways because they prosper in the world; nor will it last long if they go on still in their trespasses. The prophet must show Israel their sin; show it to be exceedingly hateful. Their idolatry is the sin they are here charged with. Giving that glory to any creature which is due to God alone, is an injury and affront to God; such as for a wife to take a stranger, is to her husband. The Lord, doubtless, had good reasons for giving such a command to the prophet; it would form an affecting picture of the Lord's unmerited goodness and unwearied patience, and of the perverseness and ingratitude of Israel. We should be broken and wearied with half that perverseness from others, with which we try the patience and grieve the Spirit of our God. Let us also be ready to bear any cross the Lord appoints. The prophet must show the ruin of the people, in the names given to his children. He foretells the fall of the royal family in the name of his first child: call his name Jezreel, which signifies "dispersion." He foretells God's abandoning the nation in the name of the second child; Lo-ruhamah, "not beloved," or "not having obtained mercy." God showed great mercy, but Israel abused his favours. Sin turns away the mercy of God, even from Israel, his own professing people. If pardoning mercy is denied, no other mercy can be expected. Though some, through unbelief, are broken off, yet God will have a church in this world till the end of time. Our salvation is owing to God's mercy, not to any merit of our own. That salvation is sure, of which he is the Author; and if he will work, none shall hinder.

○호1:1 호세아의 결혼과 자녀들
  호1:1 호세아에게 임한 하나님 말씀
호 1:1 웃시야와 요담과 아하스와 히스기야가 이어 유다 왕이 된 시대 곧 요아스의 아들 여로보암이 이스라엘 왕이 된 시대에 브에리의아들 호세아에게 임한 여호와의 말씀이라 
호 1:2 여호와께서 비로소 호세아로 말씀하시니라 여호와께서 호세아에게 이르시되 너는 가서 음란한 아내를 취하여 음란한 자 식들을 낳으라 이 나라가 여호와를 떠나 크게 행음함이니라 
호 1:3 이에 저가 가서 디블라임의 딸 고멜을 취하였더니 저가 잉태하여 아들을 낳으매 
호 1:4 여호와께서 호세아에게 이르시되 그 이름을 이스르엘이라 하라 조금 후에 내가 이스르엘의 피를 예후의 집에 갚으며 이 스라엘 족속의 나라를 폐할 것임이니라 
호 1:5 그 날에 내가 이스르엘 골짜기에서 이스라엘의 활을 꺾으리라 하시니라 
호 1:6 고멜이 또 잉태하여 딸을 낳으매 여호와께서 호세아에게 이르시되 그 이름을 로루하마라 하라 내가 다시는 이스라엘 족 속을 긍 휼히 여겨서 사하지 않을 것임이니라 
호 1:7 그러나 내가 유다 족속을 긍휼히 여겨 저희 하나님 여호와로 구원하겠고 활과 칼이나 전쟁이나 말과 마병으로 구원하지 아니하 리라 하시니라 

Verses 8-11 The rejection of Israel for a time, is signified by the name of another child: call him Lo-ammi, "not my people." The Lord disowns all relation to them. We love him, because he first loved us; but our being cast out of covenant, is owing to ourselves and our folly. Mercy is remembered in the midst of wrath; the rejection, as it shall not be total, so it shall not be final. The same hand that wounded, is stretched forth to heal. Very precious promises are here given concerning the Israel of God, and they may be of use to us now. Some think that these promises will not have accomplishment in full, till the general conversion of the Jews in the latter days. Also this promise is applied to the gospel, and the bringing in both the Jews and Gentiles to it, by St. Paul, ( romans 9:25 romans 9:26 ) , and by St. ( 1 Peter 2:10 ) Head, and willingly to commit ourselves to his guidance and government. And let us pray for the coming of the glorious day, when there shall be one Lord through all the earth.

 


호 1:8 고멜이 로루하마를 젖뗀 후에 또 잉태하여 아들을 낳으매 

호 1:9 여호와께서 이르시되 그 이름을 로암미라 하라 너희는 내 백성이 아니요 나는 너희 하나님이 되지 아니할 것임이니라 


  호1:10 하나님의 은총

호 1:10 그러나 이스라엘 자손의 수가 바닷가의 모래같이 되어서 측량할 수도 없고 셀 수도 없을 것이며 전에 저희에게 이르기 를 너희는 내 백성이 아니라 한 그곳에서 저희에게 이르기를 너희는 사신 하나님의 자녀라 할 것이라 

호 1:11 이에 유다 자손과 이스라엘 자손이 함께 모여 한 두목을 세우고 그 땅에서부터 올라 오리니 이스르엘의 날이 클 것임이 로다
