Charles Spurgeon Commentary Hosea 13:9-10

"It is thy destruction, O Israel, that [thou art] against me, against thy help. Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?" — Hosea 13:9-10 (ASV)

O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in me your help. I will be your king:

If you have shifted me from the throne, and set up a usurper, I will come and be your King even now.
