Charles Spurgeon Commentary Hosea 10:5

"The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced over it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it." — Hosea 10:5 (ASV)

The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven:

Why, those calves are their trust. They rely upon those images of false gods—those images which they set up in the place of the true God. Pretending by that means to worship him, they trusted in these; and now they shall become their fear. He who has confidence apart from God will find his confidence soured into a fear before long. Your greatest ground of distress will be that which was once the ground of your reliance apart from God.
