Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 11:10

They — The remnant shall hear and obey the Lord. Like a lion — The word of the Lord, so saith the Chaldee, shall roar as a lion. Christ is called, The lion of the tribe of Judah: and when he cried with a loud voice, it was as when a lion roared. The voice of the gospel was heard far, as the roaring of a lion; and it was a mighty voice. Tremble — The spirit by its power awakening them to a sight of sin, shall make them fear and tremble. From the west — From the ends of the earth.
