Context of Hosea 13:9
7So like a lion I will pounce on them; like a leopard I will lurk by the path. 8Like a bear robbed of her cubs I will attack them, and I will tear open their chests. There I will devour them like a lion, like a wild beast tearing them apart. You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me— against your helper. 10Where is your king now to save you in all your cities, and the rulers to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”? 11So in My anger I gave you a king, and in My wrath I took him away.

Commentaries on Hosea 13:9
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself - These evils come not by my immediate infliction; they are the consequences of thy own crimes.

But in me is thine help - "Though thou hast destroyed thyself, yet in me alone…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself, but in Me is thy help - This is one of the concise sayings of Hosea, which is capable of many shades of meaning. The five words, one by one, are literally, “Israel, thy destruction, for” or “that, in” or “against Me, in” or “against thy help.” Something must be supplied any way; the simplest seems; “O Israel, thy destruction” is, “that” thou hast been, hast rebelled “against Me, against thy help”. Yet, in whatever…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-16Verses 9-16 Israel had destroyed himself by his rebellion; but he could not save himself, his help was from the Lord only. This may well be applied to the case of spiritual redemption, from that lost state into which all have fallen by wilful sins. God often gives in displeasure what we sinfully desire. It is the happiness of the saints, that, whether God gives or takes away, all is in love. But it is the misery of the wicked, that, whether God gives or…Read the comment
