Sex in Hosea
- God (or Hosea?) tells his children that their mother is a whore who is not his wife. He asks
them to tell their mother to "put away her whoredoms" and "her adulteries from between her breasts" or
he'll "strip her naked ... and slay her with thirst." 2:2-3
- God says he "will discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers." 2:10
- God tells Hosea to "love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress." 3:1
- Israel has "gone a whoring" and has "loved a reward upon every cornfloor." 9:1
