Hosea9:17

17 My God will cast them away , because they did not hearken unto him : and they shall be wanderers among the nations .

No more thy God, O Ephraim, thou canst no more have hope on that account, but my God, saith the Prophet, my God who hath revealed his purpose to me, and who will accomplish it, who will make good the word I have spoken against you.

Your sins have been a weariness, a loathing to my God, and now as a vile, loathed, and wearisom thing is cast off by a man, so shall you be cast off from your God.

Neither did hearken to God to prevent Apostacy, nor would ever after hearken to God at first to repent and turn to him like a wilful Adulteress, they would not keep faithful to their Husband, nor return to him when once departed from him.

Have no City of their own, no setled dwelling place, as much suspected, hated, ill used, and punished as Vagabonds are in well-order'd Commonwealths, all which is fully come upon them.

Gentiles were such the proud Circumcision did despise and hate; but now the sins of the circumcised shall bring them under as much contempt with the Nations; nay these proud Apostates from God, when cast off; and wanderers shall account it a favour to be admitted to incorporate with, and so to grow up Heathens among Heathens, as after long time they did.
