Charles Ellicott Commentary Hosea 9:2

"The threshing-floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her." — Hosea 9:2 (ASV)

Winepress.—Understand this as wine-vat (as noted in the margin), into which the tîrôsh, new wine (or “grape-juice”), flowed from the winepress. (Compare Isaiah 5:2.) For the phrase “fail in her,” understand it as deceive her, according to the Septuagint and Vulgate.
