How preachers through history handled this text
18 public-domain excerpts on Hosea 9, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“17. My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations. 17. Abjiciet eos meus Deus, quia non audierunt eum (vel, non obedierunt ei, ut sit clarius,) et erunt vagi inter gentes. The Prophet, as I have lately hinted, assigns a reason why God had resolved to deal so severely with this people, namely because he saw their unnameable perverseness. …”
— Calvin, Commentary on Hosea, on Hosea 9:17–30 (Public Domain)
