Context of Hosea 5:11

9Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of reckoning. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain. 10Judah’s leaders are like those who move boundary stones. I will pour out my wrath on them like a flood of water. Ephraim is oppressed, trampled in judgment, intent on pursuing idols. 12I am like a moth to Ephraim, like rot to the people of Judah. 13“When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his sores, then Ephraim turned to Assyria, and sent to the great king for help. But he is not able to cure you, not able to heal your sores.

• 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
