‏ Hosea 5:10

9-10. Israel is referred to in Ho 5:9, Judah in Ho 5:10.

the day of rebuke--the day when I shall chastise him.

among the tribes of Israel have I made known--proving that the scene of Hosea's labor was among the ten tribes.

that which shall surely be--namely, the coming judgment here foretold. It is no longer a conditional decree, leaving a hope of pardon on repentance; it is absolute, for Ephraim is hopelessly impenitent.
