fled--as birds from their nest (Pro 27:8; Isa 16:2). me--who both could and would have healed them (Hos 7:1), had they applied to Me. redeemed them--from Egypt and their other enemies (Mic 6:4). lies-- (Psa 78:36; Jer 3:10). Pretending to be My worshippers, when they all the while worshipped idols (Hos 7:14; Hos 12:1); also defrauding Me of the glory of their deliverance, and ascribing it and their other blessings to idols [CALVIN].
