How preachers through history handled this text
22 public-domain excerpts on Hosea 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“14. Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. 14. Et (vel, ideo, copula enim illativam particulam valet, ideo) surget tumultus in populis tuis; et unaquaeque munitionum tuarum vastabitur, secundum vastationem Salman Beth-arbel: in die proelii mater super filios allidetur. 15. So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off. …”
— Calvin, Commentary on Hosea, on Hosea 10:14–30 (Public Domain)
