Transcription: Hosea is one of the most emotional books in the Bible, an outpouring of suffering love from God's heart. Read aloud, this chapter sounds like a fight between a husband and wife overheard through thin walls. The book of Hosea, in fact, represents the first time God's covenant with Israel was described in terms of marriage. It shows that God longs for his people with the tenderness and hunger that a lover feels toward his bride.
