Commentaries on Hosea 14:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7They that dwell under his shadow shall return - The Targum is curious: "They shall be gathered together from the midst of their captivity; they shall dwell under the shadow of his Christ, and the dead shall revive." They shall revive as the corn - The justness and beauty of this metaphor is not generally perceived. After the corn has been a short time above the earth, in a single spike, the blades begin to separate, and the stalk to spring out of the…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7They that dwell under his shadow - that is, the shadow of the restored Israel, who had just been described under the image of a magnificent tree uniting in itself all perfections.: “They that are under the shadow of the Church are together under the shadow of Christ the Head thereof, and also of God the Father.” The Jews, of old, explained it, “they shall dwell under the shadow of their Messias.” These, he says, “shall return,” i. e., they shall turn to…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 4-8Verses 4-8 Israel seeks God's face, and they shall not seek it in vain. His anger is turned from them. Whom God loves, he loves freely; not because they deserve it, but of his own good pleasure. God will be to them all they need.

The lily, when come to its…Read the comment

Others take "His shadow" to mean Jehovah's (compare Psa 17:8; 91:1; Is 4:6), which Ho 14:1, 2 ("return unto the Lord," &c.) favor. But the "his" in Ho 14:6 refers to Israel, and therefore must refer to the same here. revive as ... corn--As the corn long buried in the earth springs up, with an abundant produce, so…Read the comment
