Hosea illustrates God's relationship with Israel by comparing it to his own marriage to Gomer. With the help of metaphors and historical allusions, the Lord rebukes Israel for its hypocrisy and urges repentance. This is not a verse by verse commentary, nor a mere summary. It is a literary work designed to present the essence of the prophet's message.
