Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets: Translated From the Original Hebrew; A Commentary, Critical, Philological, and Exegetical
Hosea was cotemporary With Isaiah, Micah, and Amos, and, like the last-mentioned prophet, directed his prophecies chie?y against the kingdom of the ten tribes.
From the general tenor of his book, and from the history of the times contained in the Books of Kings, he manifestly lived in a very corrupt age. Idolatry, a fondness for foreign alliances, civil distractions, and Vice of every description abounded, the impending judgments on account of which he was commissioned to announce.
Though he occasionally mentions Judah, yet the entire scene is laid in the land of Israel, where, there can be little doubt, he lived and taught.
