Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset & David Brown · 19th-century historical commentary

As they were increased--in numbers and power. Compare Hos 4:6, "thy children," to which their "increase" in numbers refers. so they sinned--(Compare Hos 10:1 and Hos 13:6). will I change their glory into shame--that is, I will strip them of all they now glory in (their numbers and power), and give them shame instead. A just retribution: as they changed their glory into shame, by idolatry (Psa 106:20; Jer 2:11; Rom 1:23; Phi 3:19).
