Ephraim is oppressed The name "Ephraim" refers to one of the tribes of Israel, often used to represent the Northern Kingdom as a whole. Historically, Ephraim was a leading tribe, but here it is described as "oppressed." The Hebrew root for "oppressed" (עָשַׁק, 'ashaq) conveys a sense of being wronged or exploited. This oppression is not merely physical but spiritual and moral, indicating the consequences of turning away from God. The historical context shows that Ephraim's alliances with foreign nations and idolatry led to their downfall, illustrating the spiritual oppression that results from abandoning God's covenant. crushed in judgment for he is determined to follow what is worthless Persons / Places / Events 1.

The Role of Prophetic Warning Prophets like Hosea serve as God's messengers, warning us of the consequences of sin. We should heed these warnings and adjust our lives accordingly.(11) Broken in judgment.--The Authorised version is probably right in this rendering, the phrase having reference to rights pertaining to individuals. Interpreters differ as to the rare word tsav, translated "commandment." It only occurs in one other place (Isaiah 28:10; Isaiah 28:13). Ewald regards it as meaning "wooden post," i.e., their idol, but this has no basis in Old Testament usage, though etymologically ingenious. The majority of Jewish and modern commentators take it as meaning the evil ordinance of Jeroboam, who demanded the reverence of his subjects for the calf-symbol of Jehovah. The LXX. had another text (shav instead of tsav), which they render "vanities," and are followed by the Targum and Syriac version. This is worthy of attention. Willingly--i.e., "waywardly." Verse 11. - Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment. The expression retsuts mishpat is(1) by some explained, "crushed by the judgment," that is, of God, according to which mishpat would be the genitive of the agent as mukkeh Elohim. But "crushed of judgment" or in judgment is justly preferred by others, the genitive taking the place of the accusative. Again, though the combination of 'ashuq with rutsuts is frequent, occurring as early as Deuteronomy 28:33, the latter is the stronger term. The oppression is (2) not that which their own kings and princes practiced upon their subjects, according to Aben Ezra, "Their kings oppressed and cheated them;" nor the injustice practiced by the people of Ephraim among themselves, as implied by the LXX., "Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgment underfoot." The reference (3) is rather to Ephraim being oppressed and crushed in judgment by the heathen nations around; thus Rashi explains, "Oppressed is Ephraim ever by the hand of the heathen - chastised with chastisements;" so also Kimchi, "By the hand of the heathen who oppressed and crushed them through hard judgments."
