The World English Bible (WEB): Hosea

"The World English Bible (WEB): Hosea" by Anonymous is a prophetic book written around the 8th century BCE. Set during the decline of the northern Kingdom of Israel, it tells the story of the prophet Hosea and his unfaithful wife Gomer—a powerful metaphor for Israel's abandonment of Yahweh. Through this troubled marriage, the text explores themes of betrayal, divine love, and judgment as God denounces Israel's worship of false gods and predicts their destruction by Assyria, while promising eventual reconciliation and restoration.
