Hosea

Uses the prophet's marriage as a symbol for Israel's unfaithfulness and God's faithful love.

Chapter 3

KJV - Hosea 3:1

Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

Then God told me, Go love a woman who is loved by her friend, even though she is unfaithful. Do this because I, the Lord, love the people of Israel, who often turn to other gods and enjoy drinking from wine jugs.
