Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Hosea 9:17

‘My God will cast them away,

Because they did not listen responsively to him,

And they will be wanderers among the nations.'

For because they had continually refused to listen responsively to Him He now intended to cast them away, with the result that they would become wanderers among the nations, in accordance with the curse depicted in Deuteronomy 28:65; Leviticus 26:26. They would go on and on wandering, with nowhere to hide.
