Exegesis
Finally, uke‘ashan me’arubah {וּכְעָשָׁן מֵאֲרֻבָּה | wə-ʿā-šān mē-ʾā-rū-bā} ‘and like smoke from a window’ completes the series. The waw conjunction links the four images in parallel, reinforcing the theme of fleeting existence.
In context — Hosea 13:3
Therefore they will be like a morning cloud and like the dew that goes early away, like chaff driven from the threshing floor and like smoke from a window.
