Context of Hosea 10:1
Israel is a luxuriant vine; He produces fruit for himself. The more his fruit, The more altars he made; The richer his land, The better he made the memorial stones. 2Their heart is deceitful; Now they must suffer for their guilt. The Lord will break down their altars And destroy their memorial stones. 3Certainly now they will say, “We have no king, For we do not revere the Lord. As for the king, what can he do for us?”

Commentaries on Hosea 10:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Israel is an empty vine - Or, a vine that casteth its grapes. He bringeth forth fruit - Or, he laid up fruit for himself. He abused the blessings of God to the purposes of idolatry. He was prosperous; but his prosperity corrupted his heart. According to the multitude of his fruit - He became idolatrous in proportion to his prosperity; and in proportion to their wealth was the costliness of their images, and the expensiveness of their idol worship. True is…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1Israel is an empty vine - Or, in the same sense, “a luxuriant vine;” literally, “one which poureth out,” poureth itself out into leaves, abundant in switches, (as most old versions explain it,) luxuriant in leaves, emptying itself in them, and empty of fruit; like the fig-tree, which our Lord cursed. For the more a fruit tree putteth out its strength in leaves and branches, the less and the worst fruit it beareth.: “The juices which it ought to transmute…Read the comment

God is the Sovereign of the heart; he will have all, or none. Were the stream of the heart wholly after God, it would run strongly, and bear down all before it. Their pretences to covenant with God were false. Even the proceeding of justice was as…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1Although Israel was God’s rich and fruitful vine (see Isaiah 5:1–7; Jeremiah 2:21; Ezekiel 17:6), she wrongly credited her success to the Canaanite fertility gods instead of the Lord. She used the wealth God gave her to enhance idol worship. sacred pillars: Stone pillars could serve as acceptable memorials (Genesis 35:20; Joshua 24:26–27), but God forbade the Israelites from using them in worship like the Canaanites did (Exodus 23:24; Deuteronomy 16:22).Read the comment
