Oseas 9
Nueva Traducción BibliaTodo (NTBT) · Español
1 No te alegres, Israel, con júbilo como los pueblos, porque te has prostituido, apartándote de tu Dios; has amado el salario de prostituta en todas las eras de grano. 2 La era y el lagar no los alimentarán, y el vino nuevo le fallará. 3 No permanecerán en la tierra de Jehová; Efraín volverá a Egipto, y en Asiria comerán alimentos impuros. 4 No derramarán vino como ofrenda a Jehová ni le serán gratos sus sacrificios. Les serán como pan de enlutados: todos los que lo coman se contaminarán. Su pan será solo para ellos; no entrará en la casa de Jehová. 5 ¿Qué harán en el día de la celebración señalada y en el día de la fiesta de Jehová? 6 Miren, se han ido a causa de la destrucción; Egipto los recogerá, Menfis los sepultará. Las ortigas se apoderarán de sus tesoros de plata, y los espinos crecerán en sus tiendas. 7 Han llegado los días del castigo, han llegado los días de la retribución; Israel lo sabrá. El profeta es un necio, el hombre inspirado es un loco, por la magnitud de tu iniquidad y la abundancia de hostilidad. 8 El profeta es centinela de Efraín junto a mi Dios; en todos sus caminos hay una trampa de cazador, y hostilidad en la casa de su Dios. 9 Se han corrompido profundamente, como en los días de Gabaa; él recordará su iniquidad y castigará sus pecados. 10 «Como uvas en el desierto encontré a Israel; como el primer higo de una higuera en su primera cosecha vi a sus padres. Pero ellos fueron a Baal-peor, se consagraron a la vergüenza y se volvieron abominables como aquello que amaban. 11 Efraín: su gloria volará como un ave; no habrá nacimiento, ni embarazo, ni concepción. 12 Aunque críen a sus hijos, se los quitaré hasta que no quede hombre alguno. ¡Ay de ellos también cuando me aparte de ellos! 13 Efraín, según lo he visto, está como Tiro, plantado en una pradera; pero Efraín sacará a sus hijos hacia el verdugo». 14 Dales, Jehová; ¿qué les darás? Dales un vientre que aborte y pechos secos. 15 «Toda su maldad está en Gilgal; allí los aborrecí. Por la maldad de sus obras los expulsaré de mi casa; no los amaré más. Todos sus príncipes son rebeldes. 16 Efraín ha sido herido; su raíz se ha secado, no producirán fruto. Aunque den a luz, mataré a los hijos amados de su vientre». 17 Mi Dios los rechazará porque no lo han escuchado, y andarán errantes entre las naciones.

Oseas 9:1
Ho 9:1-17. Warning against Israel's Joy at Partial Relief from Their Troubles: Their Crops Shall Fail, and the People Leave the Lord's Land for Egypt and Assyria, Where They Cannot, If So Inclined, Serve God According to the Ancient Ritual: Folly of Their False Prophets.
1. Rejoice not ... for joy--literally, "to exultation." Thy exultation at the league with Pul, by which peace seems secured, is out of place: since thy idolatry will bring ruin on thee.
as other people--the Assyrians for instance, who, unlike thee, are in the height of prosperity.
loved a reward upon every corn floor--Thou hast desired, in reward for thy homage to idols, abundance of corn on every threshing-floor (Ho 2:12).
Oseas 9:2
Oseas 9:3
3. return to Egypt--(See on Ho 8:13). As in Ho 11:5 it is said, "He shall not return into ... Egypt." Fairbairn thinks it is not the exact country that is meant, but the bondage state with which, from past experience, Egypt was identified in their minds. Assyria was to be a second Egypt to them. De 28:68, though threatening a return to Egypt, speaks (De 28:36) of their being brought to a nation which neither they nor their fathers had known, showing that it is not the literal Egypt, but a second Egypt-like bondage that is threatened.
eat unclean things in Assyria--reduced by necessity to eat meats pronounced unclean by the Mosaic law (Eze 4:13). See 2Ki 17:6.
Oseas 9:4
4. offer wine offerings--literally, "pour as a libation (Ex 30:9; Le 23:13).
neither shall they be pleasing unto him--as being offered on a profane soil.
sacrifices ... as the bread of mourners--which was unclean (De 26:14; Jr 16:7; Eze 24:17).
their bread for their soul--their offering for the expiation of their soul [Calvin], (Le 17:11). Rather, "their bread for their sustenance ('soul' being often used for the animal life, Ge 14:21, Margin) shall not come into the Lord's house"; it shall only subserve their own uses, not My worship.
Oseas 9:5
5. (Ho 2:11).
Oseas 9:6
6. because of destruction--to escape from the devastation of their country.
Egypt shall gather them up--that is, into its sepulchres (Jr 8:2; Eze 29:5). Instead of returning to Palestine, they should die in Egypt.
Memphis--famed as a necropolis.
the pleasant places for their silver--that is, their desired treasuries for their money. Or, "whatever precious thing they have of silver" [Maurer].
nettles--the sign of desolation (Is 34:13).
Oseas 9:7
7. visitation--vengeance: punishment (Is 10:3).
Israel shall know it--to her cost experimentally (Is 9:9).
the prophet is a fool--The false prophet who foretold prosperity to the nation shall be convicted of folly by the event.
the spiritual man--the man pretending to inspiration (La 2:14; Eze 13:3; Mi 3:11; Zep 3:4).
for the multitude of thine iniquity, &c.--Connect these words with, "the days of visitation ... are come"; "the prophet ... is mad," being parenthetical.
the great hatred--or, "the great provocation" [Henderson]; or, "(thy) great apostasy" [Maurer]. English Version means Israel's "hatred" of God's prophets and the law.
Oseas 9:8
8. The watchman ... was with my God--The spiritual watchmen, the true prophets, formerly consulted my God (Jr 31:6; Ha 2:1); but their so-called prophet is a snare, entrapping Israel into idolatry.
hatred--rather, "(a cause of) apostasy" (see Ho 9:7) [Maurer].
house of his God--that is, the state of Ephraim, as in Ho 8:1 [Maurer]. Or, "the house of his (false) god," the calves [Calvin]. Jehovah, "my God," seems contrasted with "his God." Calvin's view is therefore preferable.
Oseas 9:9
9. as in the days of Gibeah--as in the day of the perpetration of the atrocity of Gibeah, narrated in Jud 19:16-22, &c.
Oseas 9:10
10. As the traveller in a wilderness is delighted at finding grapes to quench his thirst, or the early fig (esteemed a great delicacy in the East, Is 28:4; Jr 24:2; Mi 7:1); so it was My delight to choose your fathers as My peculiar people in Egypt (Ho 2:15).
at her first time--when the first-fruits of the tree become ripe.
went to Baal-peor--(Nu 25:3): the Moabite idol, in whose worship young women prostituted themselves; the very sin Israel latterly was guilty of.
separated themselves--consecrated themselves.
unto that shame--to that shameful or foul idol (Jr 11:13).
their abominations were according as they loved--rather, as Vulgate, "they became abominable like the object of their love" (De 7:26; Psa 115:8). English Version gives good sense, "their abominable idols they followed after, according as their lusts prompted them" (Am 4:5, Margin).
Oseas 9:11
11. their glory shall fly away--fit retribution to those who "separated themselves unto that shame" (Ho 9:10). Children were accounted the glory of parents; sterility, a reproach. "Ephraim" means "fruitfulness" (Ge 41:52); this its name shall cease to be its characteristic.
from the birth ... womb ... conception--Ephraim's children shall perish in a threefold gradation; (1) From the time of birth. (2) From the time of pregnancy. (3) From the time of their first conception.
Oseas 9:12
12. Even though they should rear their children, yet will I bereave them (the Ephraimites) of them (Job 27:14).
woe ... to them when I depart--Yet the ungodly in their madness desire God to depart from them (Job 21:14; 22:17; Mt 8:34). At last they know to their cost how awful it is when God has departed (De 31:17; 1Sa 28:15, 16; compare Ho 9:11; 1Sa 4:21).
Oseas 9:13
13. Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus ... in a pleasant place--that is, in looking towards Tyrus (on whose borders Ephraim lay) I saw Ephraim beautiful in situation like her (Eze 26:1-28:26).
is planted--as a fruitful tree; image suggested by the meaning of "Ephraim" (Ho 9:11).
bring forth his children to the murderer--(Ho 9:16; Ho 13:16). With all his fruitfulness, his children shall only be brought up to be slain.
Oseas 9:14
14. what wilt thou give?--As if overwhelmed by feeling, he deliberates with God what is most desirable.
give ... a miscarrying womb--Of two evils he chooses the least. So great will be the calamity, that barrenness will be a blessing, though usually counted a great misfortune (Job 3:3; Jr 20:14; Lu 23:29).
Oseas 9:15
15. All their wickedness--that is, their chief guilt.
Gilgal--(see on Ho 4:15). This was the scene of their first contumacy in rejecting God and choosing a king (1Sa 11:14, 15; compare 1Sa 8:7), and of their subsequent idolatry.
there I hated them--not with the human passion, but holy hatred of their sin, which required punishment to be inflicted on themselves (compare Mal 1:3).
out of mine house--as in Ho 8:1: out of the land holy unto Me. Or, as "love" is mentioned immediately after, the reference may be to the Hebrew mode of divorce, the husband (God) putting the wife (Israel) out of the house.
princes ... revolters--"Sarim ... Sorerim" (Hebrew), a play on similar sounds.
