Hosea 10

This chapter predicts that the golden calf will be carried away by the Assyrians as plunder. This may have been something that was on God's mind by anointing the Assyrians. God gave them authority to plunder but not to kill people and destroy nations. God then became angry at the Assyrians because they usurped their authority from God.

Here, I am sure God would be glad that the golden calf would be swept away by the Assyrians. This might have been something God wanted the Assyrians to do since the Israelites did not do it themselves.

Likewise, this chapter says that the high places will be destroyed. It does not specify when or by whom, but it could come at the hands of the Assyrians.
