The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 191
191. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 8
1-7 They have perverted the church; they have turned its goods and truths into evils and falsities. (3)
8-11 By reasonings from the natural man they have put off everything of the church, (3)
12-14 and also everything of the worship of the church; therefore they cannot but perish. (3)
Hosea 8:1-7
1
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2
Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
3
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
