Commentary on Hosea 9:6
For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles. Prophecy of exile death: Egypt gathers (collects bodies), Memphis (Egyptian city) buries them. Pleasant places (homes) become overgrown with nettles and thorns - complete desolation. Reverses promised land blessings to curse imagery (Genesis 3:18, thorns/thistles). Only Christ removes curse, creating new creation where curse exists no more (Revelation 22:3).
