This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
provoked him - that is, God.
leave his blood upon him - not take away the guilt and penalty of the innocent blood shed by Ephraim in general, and to Molech in particular.
his reproach shall his Lord return unto him - Ephraim’s dishonor to God in worshipping idols, God will repay to him. That God is “his Lord” by right redemption and special revelation to Ephraim only aggravates his guilt, instead of giving him hope of escape. God does not give up His claim to them as His, however they set aside His dominion.
