Hosea 12
Israel
reminded of Jacob's history and his supplication
The Spirit presents
another aspect of the relationship of Israel with God. He
would punish Ephraim, and the sins of Judah should be
remembered. But He reminds them, that there was a time
when Jacob could wrestle with his God, and make
supplication to Him, and prevail; that afterwards He
found him in Bethel, and there God, even Jehovah, spake
to him, and revealed to him His name, which, in fact, He
had not done in Peniel. Take notice here of the way in
which God enters into all the details of His moral
relationship with Israel, in order that the force, the
meaning, and the righteousness of the
"Lo-ruhamah," which He pronounces on His
people, may be understood. His love for them at first,
His tender care, the manner in which He had already been
requited at Baal-peor, the horrible iniquity of Gibeah
now renewed, their corruption, their idolatry, their
refusal to hearken, all is recounted; and finally, the
way in which Jacob had formerly succeeded in turning away
wrath, and how God had then revealed Himself to him. Now,
the name which He had proclaimed on that occasion was His
memorial for ever. Let them then return unto God, and
wait on Him continually. But no; all is corruption, and
Ephraim will not even confess his sin. He who had brought
them up out of Egypt would make them dwell again in tents
without a country. God had constantly spoken to them by
His prophets, but the iniquity was there. Israel had
already been poor—a fugitive and a wanderer. And God
had interposed in sovereignty by a messenger of
deliverance, when there was no covenant in force on which
the people could reckon to deliver them.
