Charles Spurgeon Commentary Hosea 10:3

"Surely now shall they say, We have no king; for we fear not Jehovah; and the king, what can he do for us?" — Hosea 10:3 (ASV)

Their king was slain, but if he had lived, what good would he be without God? What is the good of any temporal blessing if God is not in it? It is the husk with the kernel gone; and if we are able to enjoy the husk, it looks as if we were swine, and swine are being fattened for the slaughter.

What use is anything we possess to us if God is divorced from it? I put the question again. If you are a true child of God, all the corn and wine in the world cannot feed you. Your bread must come from heaven.
