Context — Ephraim’s Iniquity
8Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned cake.
9Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.
10Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God; despite all this, they do not seek Him.
11So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove— calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria. 12As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.Cross References

Hosea 7:10 Summary
This verse is saying that even though Israel knew they were struggling and making mistakes, they still didn't turn back to God and ask for His help. They were too proud and thought they could handle things on their own, which is a reminder for us to stay humble and seek God's guidance, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Jeremiah 29:13. Just like Israel, we can easily get caught up in our own strength and forget to seek God, but this verse encourages us to stay connected with Him and seek His help in times of need. By doing so, we can avoid the pitfalls of pride and self-sufficiency, and instead find restoration and healing in our relationship with God.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is meant by 'Israel's arrogance' in this verse?
Israel's arrogance refers to their pride and self-sufficiency, which led them to rely on their own strength rather than seeking the Lord their God, as seen in Deuteronomy 8:14 and Hosea 7:9.
Why did Israel not return to the Lord despite their struggles?
Israel did not return to the Lord because of their stubbornness and hardness of heart, as mentioned in Jeremiah 5:3, which prevented them from seeking Him and acknowledging their need for His help.
How does this verse relate to the concept of repentance?
This verse highlights the importance of repentance, as Israel's failure to return to the Lord and seek Him demonstrates a lack of repentance, which is a crucial step towards healing and restoration, as seen in 1 John 1:9 and Luke 15:11-24.
What is the significance of seeking the Lord in this context?
Seeking the Lord in this context means humbly acknowledging one's sin and need for God's help, and turning to Him for guidance, forgiveness, and restoration, as encouraged in Jeremiah 29:13 and Matthew 7:7-8.
Reflection Questions
- In what ways can I be like Israel, relying on my own strength rather than seeking the Lord?
- How can I cultivate a humble heart that acknowledges my need for God's help and guidance?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to seek the Lord and return to Him?
- How can I balance my desire for self-sufficiency with the need to rely on God's strength and provision?
Gill's Exposition on Hosea 7:10
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face,.... [See comments on Hosea 5:5]; notwithstanding their weak and declining state, they were proud and haughty; entertained a high conceit of themselves,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Hosea 7:10
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this. And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face. Repetition of Hos 5:5.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Hosea 7:10
The pride of Israel testifieth to his face: see . Their proud contempt of God and his threats, of the prophets and their warnings, is notorious. They do not return to the Lord; they persist in sin without repentance, run away from God rather than return to him. Of this phrase, return, see . Their God; who was theirs of old, who still would be theirs on fair terms, of whom they talk and boast. Nor seek him; see this phrase ; they pray not, repent not, nor rely on God. For all this; though so greatly, continually, and severely punished, though almost eaten up.
Trapp's Commentary on Hosea 7:10
Hosea 7:10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.Ver. 10. And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face] Sept. the ignominy, or impudence of Israel: q.d. They think to brave it out in a stout and stomachful way. Low they are, but not lowly; humbled, but not humble. God thrust him downward, as it were with a thump on the back; but he stood stouting it out with him; and so discovered a great deal of arrogance and folly. Plectimur, may such say, nec tamen flectimur; Corripimur sed non corrigimur (Salvian.). We have been stricken, but not sick; beaten, but not sensible, &c.; the drunkards’ ditty, Proverbs 23:35. When for all this, for all that God can do to tame them, and turn them again, they will on in their wicked ways, and not "accept the punishment of their iniquities"; not confess and forsake their sins, that they have mercy; not seek him, that is, come unto him by faith, Hebrews 11:6, and subject themselves unto him by true obedience, 2 Chronicles 7:14, this is such a piece of pride as testifieth to men’ s faces, that they deserve to be destroyed; this is wickedness with a witness; this is fastus adeo enormis atque notorius, saith Pareus, such horrible and notorious insolence, as is not to be endured. God complains of Israel for this with a sigh, Ah sinful nation, &c., and resolves upon revenge, Hosea 7:12. of turning to God. See Zechariah 1:3, and of seeking God, see Hosea 5:15.

Cambridge Bible on Hosea 7:10
10. And the pride of Israel …] Repeated from Hosea 5:5, just as Hosea 12:9 a is repeated in Hosea 13:4 a. It is not the prophet who speaks condemning a bad quality in his people, but Jehovah, Israel’s true Pride, and the source of Israel’s prosperity, who utters a solemn word of warning translated into act. How much more suitable this explanation is in such a context than either of the alternatives mentioned on Hosea 5:5. for all this] i.e. in spite of all this chastisement, comp. Isaiah 9:12; Isaiah 9:17; Isaiah 9:21.
