Context of Hosea 11:5
3And I it was that taught Ephraim to walk, — He took them upon his arms, — but they knew not that I healed them. 4I drew them with bands of a man, with cords of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently caused them to eat. He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return [to me]; 6and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels. 7Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth [him].

Commentaries on Hosea 11:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5He shall not return into - Egypt - I have brought them thence already, with the design that the nation should never return thither again; but as they have sinned, and forfeited my favor and protection, they shall go to Assyria; and this because they refused to return to me. This view of the verse removes every difficulty.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5He shall not return to Egypt - Some had probably returned already to Egypt; the rest were looking to Egypt for help, and rebelling against the Assyrian, (whose servant their king Hoshea had become), and making alliance with So king of Egypt.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. He shall not return into ...
