Context of Hosea 9:15
13At one time, I saw that Ephraim's land was a beautiful place, like Tyre. But now Ephraim's people must bring out their children for an enemy to kill them.’ 14Lord, what should I ask you to give to these people? Make it impossible for their women to give birth! Stop the milk from their breasts to feed their babies! The Lord says, ‘They started to do evil things at Gilgal. It was there that I began to hate them. Because they do evil things, I will chase them out of my land. I will not love them any more. Their leaders have all turned against me. 16Ephraim's people are very sick. They are like a plant that has dry roots and it gives no fruit. Even if they give birth to children that they love very much, I will kill those children.’ 17My God will not accept them as his people, because they have not obeyed him. They will have no home of their own. They will have to live among different nations.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15All their wickedness is in Gilgal - Though we are not directly informed of the fact, yet we have reason to believe they had been guilty of some scandalous practices of idolatry in Gilgal See Hosea 4:15. For there I hated them - And therefore he determined, "for the wickedness of their doings, to drive them out of his house," so that they should cease to be a part of the heavenly family, either as sons or servants; for he would "love them no more," and…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-17Verses 11-17 . God departs from a people, or from a person, when he withdraws his goodness and mercy from them; and when the Lord is departed, what can the creature do? Even though, for the present, good things seem to remain, yet the blessing is gone if God is gone. Even the children should perish with the parents.
