Oséias 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 10:7

[As for] Samaria
The metropolis of the ten tribes of Israel, and here put for the whole kingdom: her king is cut off;
which some understand of Pekah, who was killed by Hoshea; others of several of their kings cut off one after another, very suddenly and quickly, as the metaphor after used shows; or rather Hoshea the last king is meant, who was cut off by the king of Assyria; the present tense is used for the future, to denote the certainty of it. Aben Ezra thinks the verb "cut off" is to be repeated, Samaria is "cut off, her king [is] cut off"; both king and kingdom destroyed. So the Targum,

``Samaria is cut off with her king:''

as the foam upon the water;
as any light thing flowing upon it; as the bark of a tree, as Kimchi and Abarbinel; or as the scum upon a boiling pot of water, as Jarchi, and the Targum; or as foam, which is an assemblage of bubbles upon the water; such are kings and kingdoms, swell, look big and high for a while; but are mere bubbles, empty things; and are often suddenly, quickly, and easily destroyed; so Samaria and her king were by the Assyrian army; the Lord of hosts, the King of kings, being against them.

Oséias 10:7 In-Context

5 Os moradores de Samária serão atemorizados por causa do bezerro de Bete-Áven. O seu povo se lamentará por causa dele, como também prantearão os seus sacerdotes idólatras por causa da sua glória, que se apartou dela.

6 Também será ele levado para Assíria como um presente ao rei Jarebe; Efraim ficará confuso, e Israel se envergonhará por causa do seu próprio conselho.

7 O rei de Samária será desfeito como a espuma sobre a face da água.

8 E os altos de Áven, pecado de Israel, serão destruídos; espinhos e cardos crescerão sobre os seus altares; e dirão aos montes: Cobri-nos! e aos outeiros: Caí sobre nós!

9 Desde os dias de Gibeá tens pecado, ó Israel; ali permaneceram; a peleja contra os filhos da iniqüidade não os alcançará em Gibeá.
