The Book of Hosea. Its canonicity is recognized in all major Christian traditions: Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, and Ethiopian Orthodox (Tewahedo). In the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which has a broader canon of 81 books, Hosea is maintained as canonical and read within the corpus of the 'Minor Prophets' (Lǝsänät Kəlǝy). The Ethiopian text (Ge'ez) follows the tradition of the Septuagint and the Masoretic Text, with no significant doctrinal variations. The central message of the book is God's love for Israel, despite the people's unfaithfulness, using the prophet's marriage to Gomer as an allegory of the covenant between God and Israel.
Hosea
Chapter 3
Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.
For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:
Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
