Context of Hosea 5:11

9Ephraim will become a desolation on the day of punishment; I announce what is certain among the tribes of Israel. 10The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers; I will pour out my fury on them like water. Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow what is worthless. 12So I am like rot to Ephraim and like decay to the house of Judah. 13When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria and sent a delegation to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Walked after the commandment - Jeroboam's commandment to worship his calves at Dan and Beth-el. Many of them were not forced to do this, they did it willingly.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment - Literally, “crushed in judgment.” Holy Scripture, elsewhere also, “combines” these same two words, rendered “oppressed” and “crushed,” in speaking of man‘s oppression by man. Ephraim preferred man‘s commands and laws to God‘s; they obeyed man and set God at nought; therefore they should suffer at man‘s hands, who, while he equally neglected God‘s will, enforced his own.

The judgments of God are sometimes to a sinful people as a moth, and as rottenness, or as a worm; as these consume the clothes…Read the comment

Compare Mi 6:16, "the statutes of Omri," namely, idolatrous statutes. We ought to obey God rather than men (Ac 5:29). Jerome reads "filthiness."
