Hosea 10:7

As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.

As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water - (Hosea 10:3; Hosea 10:15) "foam" denoting short-lived existence and speedy dissolution. As the foam, though seeming to be eminent, raised on the top of the water, yet has no solidity, such is the throne of Samaria. Maurer translates [ qetsep (H7110), from qaatsap (H7107), to break off] 'a chip,' or broken branch, that cannot resist the current; or a straw (Pusey).
