Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Hosea 1:6,7

Perhaps the birth of a son first, and a daughter after, was intended to signify that both sons and daughters had alike corrupted themselves. Ruhamah is a beautiful name signifying beloved: but the Lo before it, putting a negative upon it, shows the solemn alteration wrought by sin in the human mind. But, Reader! do not overlook the gracious promise that follows, and the way by which the Lord engageth to accomplish it. The salvation promised is wholly by the Lord their God. Sweet thought! It is all in Jesus, for there is salvation in no other. Hosea 13:9; Acts 4:12.
