Hosea 8:8

The prophet looked ahead to the time of Israel’s judgment. The nation would be swallowed up, as when someone eats grain (Hosea 8:7). Israel would become a part of the nations having gone into captivity and lost its own sovereignty and even its identity. It would be like an earthenware pot that no one wanted because it was broken (cf. Jeremiah 22:28; Jeremiah 48:38).
