Hosea 3:1-3
Once again the Lord spoke to me. And this time he said, “Hosea, fall in love with an unfaithful woman who has a lover. Do this to show that I love the people of Israel, even though they worship idols and enjoy the offering cakes made with fruit.”So I paid fifteen pieces of silver and about ten bushels of grain for such a woman. Then I said, “Now you are mine! You will have to remain faithful to me, though it will be a long time before we sleep together.”
Discuss.
Evidently, Hosea had an itty bitty hosea.
I bet it didn’t take long before horny Hosea laid the bitch.
Shorter Hosea:
What’s love got to do, got to do with it?
What’s love but a second hand emotion?
Hosea: Leisure Suit Larry of the Bronze Age.
@ 3 — “What’s love but a second hand emotion?”
Robert Plant made the same observation in The Lemon Song, albeit in the form of a direct order, and not a question.
Now you all can see why I want you to listen to the Prophet Goldy. He has much more to teach than most of his predecessors.
I am that I am
