Context of Hosea 5:11

9Ephraim will be ruined in the day of judgment! What I am declaring to the tribes of Israel will certainly take place! 10The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers. I will pour out my rage on them like a torrential flood! Ephraim will be oppressed, crushed under judgment, because he was determined to pursue worthless idols. 12I will be like a moth to Ephraim, like wood rot to the house of Judah. 13When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria, and begged its great king for help. But he will not be able to heal you! He cannot cure your wound!

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Walked after the commandment - Jeroboam's commandment to worship his calves at Dan and Beth-el. Many of them were not forced to do this, they did it willingly.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment - Literally, “crushed in judgment.” Holy Scripture, elsewhere also, “combines” these same two words, rendered “oppressed” and “crushed,” in speaking of man‘s oppression by man. Ephraim preferred man‘s commands and laws to God‘s; they obeyed man and set God at nought; therefore they should suffer at man‘s hands, who, while he equally neglected God‘s will, enforced his own.

And it is a mercy that we have timely warning given us, that we may flee from the wrath to come. Compliance with the commandments of men, who thwart the commandments of God, ripens a people for ruin. The judgments of God are sometimes to a sinful people as a moth, and as rottenness, or as a worm; as these consume the clothes…Read the comment

Compare Mi 6:16, "the statutes of Omri," namely, idolatrous statutes. We ought to obey God rather than men (Ac 5:29). Jerome reads "filthiness." The Septuagint gives the sense, not the literal translation: "after vanities."Read the comment
