Review God uses the illustration of the children and their names to speak directly to the children of Israel about their mother and them. Hosea 2:2-13 What does God want the children to do? (2:2-5) Who is the LORD speaking to? What is He saying? Why is He saying this? Why is He saying this to them? What is God going to do to their mother? (2:6-13) The LORD will make it difficult for her to find her lovers. The LORD will make her life difficult for chasing after her lovers. How had Israel “played the whore”?
