| Hosea 8:5 | Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed? | Calf. The idol is broken in pieces, and carried away by the victorious enemy. Thus does the vanity of such gods appear. Their captivity is therefore often foretold, Jeremias 43:12. --- Cleansed. The physician is disgusted with the obstinacy of the sick. (Calmet) --- How long will Israel resist the Holy Ghost? (Acts 7:51.) (Haydock) |
