Oséias 10:7

7 Samaria e seu rei serão arrastadoscomo um graveto nas águas.

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 O povo que mora em Samariateme pelo ídolo em forma de bezerro de Bete-Áven.Seu povo pranteará por ele,como também os seus sacerdotes idólatras,que se regozijavam por seu esplendor;porque foi tirado deles e levado para o exílio.
6 Sim, até ele será levado para a Assíriacomo tributo para o grande rei.Efraim sofrerá humilhação;e Israel será envergonhado por causa do seu ídolo de madeira.
7 Samaria e seu rei serão arrastadoscomo um graveto nas águas.
8 Os altares da impiedade,que foram os pecados de Israel, serão destruídos.Espinhos e ervas daninhas crescerãoe cobrirão os seus altares.Então eles dirão aos montes: “Cubram-nos!”,e às colinas: “Caiam sobre nós!”
9 “Desde os dias de Gibeá, você pecou, ó Israel,e permaneceu assim.Acaso a guerra não os alcançouem Gibeá por causa dos malfeitores?
