Context of Hosea 5:2

1Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, you of the house of the king! For the judgment applies to you, Because you have been a trap at Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor. And the rebels have gone deep in depravity, But I will discipline all of them. 3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; Because now, Ephraim, you have been unfaithful, Israel has defiled itself. 4Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a spirit of infidelity is within them, And they do not know the Lord.

Commentaries on Hosea 5:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2The revolters are profound to make slaughter - Here may be a reference to the practice of hunters, making deep pits in the ground, and lightly covering them over, that the beasts, not discovering them, might fall in, and become a prey. Though I have been a Rebuker - "I will bring chastisement on them all." As they have made victims of others to their idolatry, I will make victims of them to my justice. Some have thought that as many as wished to depart…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2And the revolters are profound to make slaughter - Literally, “They made the slaughter deep,” as Isaiah says, “they deeply corupted themselves” Isaiah 31:6; and our old writers say “He smote deep.” They willed also doubtless to “make it deep,” hide it so deep, that God should never know it, as the Psalmist says of the ungodly, “that the inward self and heart of the worker‘s of iniquity is deep,” whereon it follows, that God should “suddenly wound them,”…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2I will chastise them all: This refers to God’s judgment. The Hebrew word musar means “discipline.” God’s judgment would certainly fall on Israel’s leaders. God did not judge Israel only to punish them, but to correct them so that his people would return to him.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 22. revolters--apostates. profound--deeply rooted [Calvin] and sunk to the lowest depths, excessive in their idolatry (Ho 9:9; Is 31:6) [Henderson]. From the antithesis (Ho 5:3), "not hid from me," I prefer explaining, profoundly cunning in their idolatry. Jeroboam thought it a profound piece of policy to set up golden calves to represent God in Dan and Beth-el, in order to prevent Israel's heart from turning again to David's line by going up to Jerusalem…Read the comment
