Hosea 5:7

Context

5:7 They have committed treason 1  against the Lord,

because they bore illegitimate children.

Soon 2  the new moon festival will devour them and their fields.

Hosea 9:11

Context
The Fertility Worshipers Will Become Infertile

9:11 Ephraim will be like a bird;

what they value 3  will fly away.

They will not bear children –

they will not enjoy pregnancy –

they will not even conceive! 4 

Hosea 11:10

Context
God Will Restore the Exiles to Israel

11:10 He will roar like a lion,

and they will follow the Lord;

when he roars,

his children will come trembling 5  from the west.

1 tn Heb “dealt treacherously against” (so KJV, NASB); NRSV “dealt faithlessly”; NLT “betrayed the honor of.”

2 tn The particle עַתָּה (’attah) often refers to the imminent or the impending future: “very soon” (BDB 774 s.v. עַתָּה 1.b). In Hosea it normally introduces imminent judgment (Hos 2:12; 4:16; 5:7; 8:8, 13; 10:2).

3 tn Heb “their glory” (so NASB); TEV “Israel’s greateness.”

4 tn Heb “no childbearing, no pregnancy, no conception.” The preposition מִן (min) prefixed to the three parallel nouns functions in a privative sense, indicating deprivation (BDB 583 s.v. מִן 7).

5 tn When the verb חָרַד (kharad, “to tremble”) is used with prepositions of direction, it denotes “to go or come trembling” (BDB 353 s.v. חָרַד 4; e.g., Gen 42:28; 1 Sam 13:7; 16:4; 21:2; Hos 11:10, 11). Thus, the phrase מִיָּםוְיֶחֶרְדוּ (vÿyekherdumiyyam) means “to come trembling from the west.” Cf. NAB “shall come frightened from the west.”
