Hos. 9:1–9 God will punish Israel by sending her people away from the land, to a place where they will not be able to make offerings to the Lord.
Hos. 9:3 The failure of crops is not the only outcome of Ephraim’s spiritual adultery; exile from the land is another consequence.
Hos. 9:6 they are going away from destruction. They think they are safe, but Egypt shall gather them. Other disasters are described in the rest of the verse.
Hos. 9:9 As in the days of Gibeah refers to the events in Judges 19–21, where God brings judgment on Gibeah and the tribe of Benjamin (Judg. 20:35) for their cruel violence (Judg. 19:22–26; compare Hos. 10:9).
Hos. 9:10–11:11 Hosea uses four more comparisons to describe Israel: grapes in the wilderness (9:10–17), a luxuriant vine (10:1–10), a trained calf (10:11–15), and a toddler (11:1–11), all of which stress God’s past care for them, their reckless ingratitude, and the unavoidable consequences.
Hos. 9:10 Like grapes in the wilderness. . . . Like the first fruit on the fig tree. The unexpected discovery of grapes in the desert or the first figs of the season is delightful. I saw your fathers. Another reference to the nation’s early history. But like Hosea’s marriage, that cherished relationship lasted for only a short time. they came to Baal-peor (see Num. 25:3; compare Ps. 106:28).
Hos. 9:14 A miscarrying womb would be the opposite of the fruitfulness the people sought in Baal worship.
Hos. 9:17 wanderers among the nations. They will be exiles.
