Hosea 1

Summary: God speaks to a prophet, Hosea, who is in the northern kingdom of Israel before it and the southern kingdom, Judah, also fall. God has Hosea marry a prostitute, naming children she has through her business to send messages to the northern kingdom, things like "your military power is gone" and "I give you no pity" and even "you are not my people."

Response: To be fair, Israel had fallen, and hard. But God does promise to redeem them. No matter how bad I've been, God will redeem me when I turn back to Him.
