Commentary on Hosea 13:3

Theological / Devotional

Morning cloud. Ephraim’s prosperity is to be short-lived (see Ps. 37:35, 36); his apostasy will bring upon him sure and swift punishment. These four figures, the morning cloud, the early dew, the chaff, and the smoke, very expressively denote the transient nature of Israel’s national existence. The Bible abounds in figures representing the transitoriness of human life (see Isa. 40:6-8; James 4:14; etc.).
