Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 9:16

_ _ The figures “root,” “fruit,” are suggested by the word “Ephraim,” that is, fruitful (see on Hosea 9:11, Hosea 9:12). “Smitten,” namely, with a blight (Psalms 102:4).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 9:11-17.

Isaiah 40:24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
