Hosea 13:3

‘Therefore they will be as the morning cloud,

And as the dew which passes early away,

As the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor,

And as the smoke out of the chimney.'

In consequence of their dismissal of YHWH, YHWH would dismiss them. They would become like the morning mist which simply vanishes as the sun continues to rise, like the dew which arrives early and evaporates into nothingness, like chaff which is blown from the threshing-floor by a whirlwind to disappear for ever, like smoke issuing from a chimney and being wafted away into the sky and vanishing. In other words they would be wafted away into nothingness by YHWH.
