The pride of Israel testifies to his face; Yet they haven't returned to Yahweh their God, Nor sought him, for all this.
      III. They went on frowardly in their wicked ways, and were not reclaimed by the rebukes they were under (Hosea 7:10; Hosea 7:10): The pride of Israel still testifies to his face, as it had done before (Hosea 5:5; Hosea 5:5); under humbling providences their hearts were still unhumbled, their lusts unmortified; and it is through the pride of their countenance that they will not seek after God (Psalms 10:4); they do not return to the Lord their God by repentance and reformation, nor do they seek him by faith and prayer for all this; though they suffer for going astray from him, though it can never be well with them till they come back to him, and though they have in vain sought to others for relief, yet they think not of applying to God.
