Gill's Notes on the Bible
Woe unto them, for they have fled from me,.... From the Lord, from his worship, and the place of it; from obedience to him, and the service of him; as birds fly from their nests, and leave their young, and wander about; so they had deserted the temple at Jerusalem, and forsaken the service of the sanctuary, and set up calves at Dan and Bethel, and worshipped them; and, instead of fleeing to God for help in time of distress, fled further off still, even out of their own land to Egypt or Assyria: the consequence of which was, nothing but ruin; and so lamentation and woes:
destruction unto them, because they have transgressed against me; against the laws which God gave them; setting up idols, and worshipping them, and so broke the first table of the law; committing murder, adultery, thefts and robberies, with which they are charged the preceding part of this chapter, and so transgressed the second table of the law; and by all brought destruction upon themselves, which was near at hand, and would certainly come, as here threatened; though they promised themselves peace, and expected assistance from neighbouring nations, but in vain, having made the Lord their enemy, by breaking his laws:
though I have redeemed them; out of Egypt formerly, and out of the hands of the Moabites, Ammonites, Philistines, and others, in the times of the judges; and more lately in the times of Joash and Jeroboam the second, who recovered many cities out of the hands of the Syrians. Aben Ezra, Jarchi, and Kimchi, interpret this of the good disposition of God towards them, having it in his heart to redeem them now from their present afflictions and distresses, but that they were so impious and wicked, and so unfaithful to him:
yet they have spoken lies against me; against his being and providence, being atheistically inclined; or pretending repentance for their sins, when they were hypocrites, and returned to their former courses; or setting up idols in opposition to him, which were vanity to him; attributing all their good things to them, and charging him with all their evils. Abendana reads the words interrogatively, "should I redeem them, when they have spoken lies against me?" t no, I will not.
t ואנכי אפדם "et ego redimerem eos?" so some in Rivet.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Woe unto them, for they have fled from Me - The threatening rises in severity, as did the measure of their sin. Whereas “Salvation belonged to God” Psalms 3:8 alone, and they only “abide under His shadow” Psalms 91:1-2, who make Him their “refuge, woe” must needs come on them, who leave Him. “They forsake their own mercy” Jonah 2:8. “Woe” they draw upon themselves, who forget God; how much more then they, who willfully and with a high hand transgress against Him! “Destruction unto them, for they have transgressed against Me.” To be separated from God is the source of all evils; it is the “pain of loss” of God’s presence, in hell; but “destruction” is more than this; it is everlasting death.
And I have redeemed them and they have spoken lies against Me - The “I” and “they” are both emphatic in Hebrew; ”I redeemed;” “they spoke lies.” Such is man’s requital of His God. Oft as He redeemed, so often did they traduce Him. Such was the history of the passage through the wilderness; such, of the period under the Judges; such had it been recently, when God delivered Israel by the hand of Jereboam II 2 Kings 14:25-27. The word, “I have redeemed,” denotes “habitual oft-renewed deliverance,” “that He was their constant Redeemer, from whom they had found help, did still find it, and might yet look to find it, if they did not, by their ill behavior, stop the course of His favor toward them” . God’s mercy overflowed their ingratitude. “They” had Spoken lies against Him, often as He had delivered them; He was still their abiding Redeemer. “I do redeem them.”
They have spoken lies against Me - People “speak lies” against God, in their hearts, their words, their deeds; whenever they harbor thoughts, speak words, or act, so as to deny that God is what He is, or as to imply that He is not what He has declared Himself to be. Whoever seeks anything out of God or against His will; whoever seeks from man, or from idols, or from fortune, or from his own powers, what God alone bestows; whoever acts as if God was not a good God, ready to receive the penitent, or a just God who will avenge the holiness of His laws and “not clear the guilty,” does in fact, “speak lies against God.” People, day by day, “speak lies against God,” against His Wisdom, His providence, His justice, His Goodness, His Omniscience, when they are thinking of nothing less. Jeroboam spake lies against God, when he said, “these be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt,” whereas God had so often enforced upon them Exodus 20:2; Leviticus 19:36; Leviticus 23:43; Numbers 15:41; Deuteronomy 5:6, Deuteronomy 5:15, “the Lord redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt (Deuteronomy 7:8; add. Deuteronomy 13:5; Deuteronomy 15:15; Deuteronomy 24:18); the Lord thy God brought thee out thence with a mighty hand and stretched out arm.”
Israel “spake lies against God,” when he said, “these are my rewards which my lovers have given me” Hosea 2:12, or when, “they returned not to Him” but “called on Egypt,” as though God would not help them, who said that He would, or as though Egypt could help them, of whom God said that it should not. Sometimes, they “spoke” out “lies” boldly, telling God’s true prophets that He had not sent them, or forbidding them to speak in His Name; sometimes covertly, as when they turned to God, not sincerely but feignedly; but always perversely. And when God the Son came on earth to “redeem them,” then still more, they spoke lies against Him, all His life long, saying, “He deceiveth the people,” and all their other blasphemies, and , “when He, forgave them the sin of His death, saying, “Father, forgave them for they know not what they do,” they persevered in “speaking lies” against Him, and bribed the soldiers to speak lies against Him,” and themselves do so to this day.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Hosea 7:13. Wo unto them! — They shall have wo, because they have fled from me. They shall have destruction, because they have transgressed against me.
Though I have redeemed them — Out of Egypt; and given them the fullest proof of my love and power.
Yet they have spoken lies against me. — They have represented me as rigorous and cruel; and my service as painful and unprofitable.
