Context of Hosea 5:2
1Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. And the revolters are gone deeply into slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. 3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest harlotry, and Israel is defiled. 4They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of harlotry is in the midst of them, and they have not known 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
