Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 8:1
After this general announcement the prophet proceeds to call attention to the imminence of the judgment (Hosea 8:1), to describe the terror that will befall Israel (Hosea 8:2), and to point out the futility of the appeal for deliverance (Hosea 8:3). Set the trumpet to thy mouth Literally, to thy palate the horn. Palate is equivalent to mouth (as in Job 8:7; Proverbs 5:3, etc.). On horn see on Hosea 5:8. The appeal is to the watchman to give the signal of alarm because the enemy is... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 8:1-3
IMMINENCE OF THE JUDGMENT IN THE FORM OF AN INVASION, Hosea 7:16 to Hosea 8:3. Israel has proved a disappointment; defiantly it persists in rebellion, therefore judgment has become inevitable indeed, it is rapidly approaching. Hosea 7:16 to Hosea 8:3, deals with the crisis that is imminent. The deep emotion of the prophet is indicated by the rapidity with which he moves from one thought to another. Their princes shall fall All the eighth century prophets insist that the ruling classes are... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 8:2
2. The reading of the R.V. is to be preferred, “They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee.” Such attitude will be in great contrast to their former turning from Jehovah; but when no other help is near they will remind him that they belong to him, and this relationship they will urge as a reason why he should help them (compare Isaiah 43:1). My God Each individual cries; the singular passes into the plural, including the whole nation. Wellhausen, disregarding the accents and... read more

3. Israel hath cast off the thing that [“that which”] is good Everything for which Jehovah stands; yea, Jehovah himself (compare Amos 5:4; Amos 5:6; Amos 5:14). Cast off A strong word, to cast off with loathing. Now they must suffer the consequences; the enemy will execute judgment. The enemy shall pursue him May also be rendered, let the enemy pursue him, expressing the decision of Jehovah that the enemy is to be allowed to proceed unhindered. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hosea 8:4
4. They have set up kings, but not by me Some understand this passage as a condemnation of the kingship in general; others, of the division of the kingdom after the death of Solomon, which led to the election of kings not of the dynasty of David; still others connect it with the chaotic condition subsequent to the death of Jeroboam II, when royal assassinations became quite common. The last interpretation is the most probable, for the prophet seems to be concerned with the present and... read more
