John Trapp on Hosea 7:10

Verſe 10. And the pride of Iſrael teſtifieth to his face,] Sept. the ignominy, or impudency of Iſrael: q. d. They think to brave it out in a ſtout and ſtomachfull way. Low they are, but not lowly; humbled, but not humble. God thruſt him downward, as it were with a thump on the back: but he ſtood ſtouting it out with him; and ſo diſcovered a great deal of arrogancy and folly. Plectimur, may ſuch ſay,Salvian. nec tamen flectimur: Corripimur ſed non corrigimur; We have been ſtricken, but not ſick; beaten, but not ſenſible, &c. the drunkards ditty, Prov. 23.35. When for all this, for all that God can do to tame them, and turn them again, they will on in their wicked wayes, and not accept of the puniſhment of their iniquities: not confeſſe and forſake their ſins, that they may have mercy: not ſeek him, that is, come unto him by faith, Heb. 11.6. and ſubject themſelves unto him by true obedience, 2 Chron. 7.14. this is ſuch a piece of pride as teſtifieth to mens faces, that they deſerve to be deſtroyed: this is wickedneſſe with a witneſſe: this is faſtus adco enormis atque notorius, ſaith Pareus, ſuch horrible and notorious inſolency, as is not to be endured. God complains of Iſrael for this with a ſigh, Ah ſinfull nation, &c. and reſolves upon revenge, verſe 24. See more of this in the Note on Chap. 5.5. Of turning to God. See Zech. 1.3. and of ſeeking God, ſee Hoſ. 5.15.
