Charles Spurgeon Commentary Hosea 13:9

"It is thy destruction, O Israel, that [thou art] against me, against thy help." — Hosea 13:9 (ASV)

Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.

"You have gone away from me, but I will bring you back again.

You have destroyed yourself by your sin, but I will restore you to my favor by my grace. You may look within yourself for causes of repentance, but you must not look to yourself for the means of restoration; you must look to me, your Saviour and your God." So this verse teaches us O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.
