 Foam
    (Hos. 10:7), the rendering of _ketseph_, which properly means
    twigs or splinters (as rendered in the LXX. and marg. R.V.). The
    expression in Hosea may therefore be read, "as a chip on the
    face of the water," denoting the helplessness of the piece of
    wood as compared with the irresistable current.
