Commentary on Hosea 8:3

Theological / Devotional

Castoff. God replies by giving the reason why He can do nothing for Israel. They have rejected the good, their good God, their good law and covenant, the good things that God gives to those obeying Him. There is nothing left but their repudiation by God and their deliverance into the hands of their enemies. Such must ever be the attitude of the Lord toward those who merely appeal to God for salvation, but do not do the will and work of God required for salvation (see Matt. 7:21-23 ; 15:7, 8).
