Oz 8, 1-14

1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. 2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. 3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. 4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. 5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? 6 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. 8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. 9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. 10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. 11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. 12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. 14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

Verš 1

Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

Dt 28:49 - The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

Oz 6:7 - But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

Oz 8,1 - Hlas trúby znamená príchod nepriateľského vojska. To príde rýchlo ako orol. Pánov dom je tu Izrael, ktorý by mal byť Pánovou svätyňou, porov. Ž 114,2.

Oz 8,4 - Izrael si proti Božej vôli zriadil osobitné (severné) kráľovstvo a osobitnú bohoslužbu, ktorá sa zvrhla na modlárstvo.

Oz 8,5 - Zlaté teľce boli pre celú ríšu len v mestách Dan a Betel. Samária sa tu spomína len ako hlavné mesto krajiny.

Oz 8,7 - Modloslužba Izraelitov si tiež vyžaduje námahy. Táto námaha je však sejba do vetra.

Oz 8,8 - Prorok užíva prorocký minulý čas.

Oz 8,9 - Divý osol nezaprie svoju prirodzenosť, žije osamote a nemieša sa medzi iné zvieratá. Izrael je zmluvou, ktorú uzavrel s Bohom, oddelený od pohanských národov, jednako sa spolčuje s nimi, hľadá u nich pomoc, ktorú k tomu ešte musí aj platiť.

Oz 8,10 - Verš znie posmešne: Boh pozbiera Izraelitov a vydá ich do rúk kráľa asýrskeho, ktorý sa volá kráľom kniežat alebo kráľom kráľov, a tam budú mať pokoj. – Ale zmysel je neistý.

Oz 8,14 - Izrael staval modlárske svätyne a Júda sa nespoliehal proti nepriateľom na Pána, ale na svoje opevnenia. Mnohí pokladajú celý verš – alebo aspoň slovo "Júda" – za neskorší dodatok.
