The Book of Hosea, a book in the Old Testament, uses the prophet Hosea's marriage to an unfaithful wife, Gomer, as a powerful metaphor for God's steadfast, loving, but pained relationship with Israel, who has turned to idol worship (spiritual adultery). It functions as a prophetic message of judgment for Israel's unfaithfulness but culminates in a promise of restoration and healing, highlighting God's persistent love and desire for His people to return to Him, even after punishment.
