Notes from Hosea 9

In this chapter,

I. God threatens to deprive this degenerate seed of Israel of all their worldly enjoyments, because by sin they had forfeited their title to them; so that they should have no comfort either in receiving them themselves or in offering them to God (v. 1-5).

II. He dooms them to utter ruin, for their own sins and the sins of their prophets (v. 6-8).

III. He upbraids them with the wickedness of their fathers before them, whose steps they trod in (v. 9, 10).

IV. He threatens them with the destruction of their children and the rooting out of their posterity (v. 11-17).
