Hosea 3:1 meaning and explanation
Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and offer raisin cakes to idols.”
Hosea 3:1, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
God speaks directly to Hosea, commanding him to love his wife again even though she has been unfaithful. The command is striking because the wife is described as loved by another and guilty of adultery, yet God still calls her Hosea's wife.
