Commentaries on Hosea 9:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Rejoice not - Do not imitate the heathens, nor serve their idols. Do not prostitute thy soul and body in practicing their impurities. Hitherto thou hast acted as a common harlot, who goes even to the common threshing places; connects herself with the meanest, in order to get a hire even of the grain there threshed out.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people - Literally, “rejoice not to exultation,” so as to bound and leap for joy (as in Job 3:22). The prophet seems to come across the people in the midst of their festivity and mirth, and arrests them abruptly stopping it, telling them, that had no cause for joy. Hosea witnessed of Israel‘s prosperity under Jeroboam II; the land had peace under Menahem the departure of Pul; Pekah was even strong, so as, in his…Read the comment

God ordained this festival (Deuteronomy 16:13–15), but the Israelites turned it into a wild pagan celebration, acting like other nations. you have played the harlot (literally you have loved a prostitute’s pay): The Israelites mistakenly believed their grain and wine were rewards for worshiping the Canaanite fertility god.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-171. Rejoice not ... for joy--literally, "to exultation." Thy exultation at the league with Pul, by which peace seems secured, is out of place: since thy idolatry will bring ruin on thee. as other people--the Assyrians for instance, who, unlike thee, are in the height of prosperity. loved a reward upon every corn floor--Thou hast desired, in reward for thy homage to idols, abundance of corn on every threshing-floor (Ho 2:12).Read the comment
