John Trapp on Hosea 9:2

Verſe. 2. The floor and the winepreſſe ſhall not feed them,] Culpam poena premit comes, Puniſhment attendeth ſin at the heeles. They had abuſed their plenty, and aſcribed it to their idols: therefore ſhall they be cut ſhort either in their ſtore, as Hag. 3.6.10. and 2.16. or in their ſtrength, as Hoſ. 4.10. and 8.7. (See Chap. 2.8.9. with the Notes.) One way or other their hopes ſhall be fruſtrated, the creature ſhall lie to them, and not anſwer their expectation.

The new wine ſhall fail in her,] Muſtum mentietur ei, ſee the like phraſe, Hab. 3.17. Eſ. 58.11. Job. 41.6. they ſhall come to the corn-floors and wine-preſſes, as men come to a lottery with heads full of hopes; but depart diſappointed, with their hearts full of blanks. As they have lied to God (idolatry is nothing elſe but a large lie,) and dealt deceitfully with him in the covenant: ſo ſhall all things lie to them, and not anſwer their hopes. Look how a certain Prince paid a falſe traitour (who for a ſumme of money had betrayed his countrey to him) in falſe coyn; ſo ſhall it fare with ſuch as falſifie with God: he will blaſt their hopes, and curſe their bleſſings, cut them ſhort in the height of their expectancies, ſtrike them in the things that their hearts are moſt ſet upon, the new wine ſhall lie to them, and ſo ſet them a howling, Joel. 1.5.
