Matthew Poole and continuators on Hosea 2:4

4 And I will not have mercy upon her children ; for they be the children of whoredoms .

Vid. chap. 1. ver. 6. let. c. d. e.

By this expression particular persons are severally, as by mother the whole Nation was threatned, that none might flatter themselves with hope of better; 'tis observable they are called her children, not Gods.

Born in whoredom, and like the Mother addicted to whoredom, as if God had said they are none of mine by birth, nor any whit like me in disposition, but a spurious and hateful brood, and as such I will use them.
