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

Chapter 9

KJV - Hosea 9:6

For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

"Because they have been destroyed, Egypt will collect them, and Memphis will bury them. The nice places where they had silver will now be taken over by nettles, and thorns will be in their shelters."
