Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Hos 10:13
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Hos 10:13 · Douay-Rheims
“You have ploughed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity, you have eaten the fruit of lying: because thou hast trusted in thy ways, in the multitude of thy strong ones.”
On this verse:
“reaped iniquity--that is, the fruit of iniquity; as "righteousness" (Hos 10:12) is "the fruit of righteousness" (Job 4:8; Pro 22:8; Gal 6:7-8). lies--false and spurious worship. trust in thy way--thy perverse way (Isa 57:10; Jer 2:23), thy worship of false gods. This was their internal safeguard, as their external was "the multitude of their mighty men."”
