If the Old Testament prophet Hosea is known for anything, it is because God orders him to marry a "promiscuous woman".
And though this action dominates the early part of Hosea's book, it is not even referred to in the later chapters.
The marriage is simply a teachable moment to alert Israel's Jews of the danger of worshipping gods that aren't God, but it is the tragedy that befalls a nation which abandons God that is spelled out here.
If it's righteous anger delivered with a poetic punch you're after, you're in for a treat.
