Commentary for Hosea 4:16
כִּ֚י כְּפָרָ֣ה סֹֽרֵרָ֔ה סָרַ֖ר יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עַתָּה֙ יִרְעֵ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה כְּכֶ֖בֶשׂ בַּמֶּרְחָֽב׃
For Israel is stubborn like a stubborn heifer; Now shall the LORD feed them as a lamb in a large place?
Rashi on Hosea
like a rebellious cow Like a fattened ox which kicks, so has Israel strayed due to an abundance of food and drink.

Rashi on Hosea
now shall the Lord feed them a limited feeding, as a lamb who feeds in a wide [sparsely vegetated] area, rather than as a fattened ox which is stuffed with barley and vetch.
