Cross-References
So quarrels broke out between the men who took care of Abram's animals and those who took care of Lot's animals. (At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were still living in the land.)
Then Abram said to Lot, "We are relatives, and your men and my men shouldn't be quarreling.
Lot, Abram's nephew, was living in Sodom, so they took him and all his possessions.
When the two angels came to Sodom that evening, Lot was sitting at the city gate. As soon as he saw them, he got up and went to meet them. He bowed down before them
and destroyed them and the whole valley, along with all the people there and everything that grew on the land.
But when God destroyed the cities of the valley where Lot was living, he kept Abraham in mind and allowed Lot to escape to safety.
I hate the company of the evil and avoid the wicked.
Do not be fooled. "Bad companions ruin good character."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is] hid. Which Kimchi restrains to the sin of the calves, and worshipping them; and others to the request of a king, the context speaks of: but it seems best to understand it in a more general sense of these, with all other sins, which were bound up, and not loosed, or were not remitted and forgiven, they being impenitent, and persisting in their sins; and which were bound up as in a bag or purse, in order to be opened and brought forth in proper time in open court, and be took cognizance of in a judiciary way; with which agrees an expression in Job 14:17; or which were laid up among the treasures of divine omniscience, in the mind of God, and not forgotten by him, as they might be thought to be, and would in due time be brought to light, and vengeance took on them. So the Targum,
"the sins of the house of Ephraim are treasured up; they are reserved to punish all their offences;''
see Deuteronomy 32:34.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up - (As in a bag or purse, and so, âtreasured upâ), as Job saith, using the same word, âMy transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou sewest up mine iniquity.â Job 14:17. âHis sinâ is âhidâ i. e., as people lay up hidden treasure, to be brought out in its season. What Job feared for himself; was to be the portion of Ephraim. All his sins should be counted, laid by, heaped up. No one of them should escape His eye who sees all things as they pass, and with whom, when past, they are present still. One by one, sins enter into the treasure-house of wrath; silently they are stored up, until the measure is full; to be brought out and unfolded in the Great Day. Ephraim thought, as do all sinners, that because God does not punish at once, He never will. They think, either that God will bear with them always, because He bears with them so long; or that He does not see, does not regard it, is not so precise about His laws being broken. âBecause sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evilâ Ecclesiastes 8:11.
But God had forewarned them; âIs not this laid up in store with Me, and sealed up among My treasures? To Me belongeth vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due timeâ Deuteronomy 32:34, Deuteronomy 32:5; and, âThese things hast thou done, and I kept silence; and thou thoughtest wickedly that I was altogether such an one as thyself; I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyesâ Psalms 50:21. Unrepented sin is an evergrowing store of the wrath of God, hid out of sight in the depths of the divine judgments, but of which nothing will be lost, nothing missing. Man treasures it up, lays it up in store for himself, as the Apostle saith; âDespisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance; but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to every man according to his deeds?â Romans 2:4-6. : ââSin is hidden,â when it is laid open by no voice of confession; yea, when it is covered with a shield of proud self-defense. Then iniquity is bound up, so that it cannot be loosed or forgiven. Contrariwise a holy man saith, âI acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sinâ Psalms 32:5.
But these hide their sin in the sight of people, and since they cannot hide it in the sight of God, they defend it with impenitent hearts, but âthe pangs of a travailing woman,â he saith, âshall come upon him.â For as a woman can conceal her conception for a time, but, at last, the travail-pangs betraying her, she discloses what was concealed, so these can dissemble and conceal for a time their sin, but in their time all the hidden things of their hearts shall, with anguish, be revealed, according to that, âThere is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known.â Matthew 10:26.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Hosea 13:12. The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up — It is registered in my court of justice; the death warrant is in store, and will be produced in due time. Though there be not at present the judgment inflicted which such glaring transgressions demand, yet it will surely come. Such crimes cannot go unpunished.
