Metaphors are meant to make you think a little. Not in Hosea. God says what the metaphors mean. It is painfully clear how much a lack of respect in marriage, family life and toward God hurts everyone. It deeply and sometimes terminally wounds all involved.
Hosea 1:2 (TLB) 2 Here is the first message: The Lord said to Hosea, “Go and marry a girl who is a prostitute, so that some of her children will be born to you from other men. This will illustrate the way my people have been untrue to me, committing open adultery against me by worshiping other gods.”
