Hosea 4:3

Shall languish — Shall pine away. With the beasts of the field — God punishes man in cutting off what was made for man's benefit; and 'tis probable the tamer cattle were starved for want of grass or fodder, all being consumed by the wasting armies. The tamer either were killed by enemies, or offended with stench, forsook the country, or were devoured by birds of prey. Taken away — Whether by drying up the waters, or by corrupting them with blood and carcasses.
