Wesley's Notes for Hosea 8:8


8:6 From Israel - By their invention. It - Both the idol and the worshippers of it.

No stalk - All your dependance on idols, and foreign assistance, will be as seed that bear neither stalk nor bud. No meal - Or suppose it produced stalk and bud, yet the bud shall be blasted, and never yield meal.
