Gomer told Hosea, “No wayah I’m staying with you Hosea! I’m moving in with the father of our third child because he gives jewelry that you can’t afford to give meah.” Hosea is heart-broken because he really loves his wife Gomer, just like God loves Israel, even though both are unfaithful and unworthy of being loved.

While Gomer was living in adultery, Hosea secretly provided her with money, food and clothes. He loved her so despite her adultery. I don’t know how many men can do what Hosea did. But Hosea finally realized that his secret support of Gomer would not help unless Gomer’s heart changed for the good. He made the difficult decision of stopping to support her. Without the money from Hosea, her lover eventually sold Gomer into slavery. Gomer has now become skin and bones, with boils and rashes all over her body, her hair full of lice. At her auction sale, nobody bids for her. Nobody wants such an ugly and sick woman to be their slave. A man offers one wooden penny for her. But Hosea shows up and offers all his money, 15 pieces of silver for Gomer, and Gomer is sold to Hosea, the highest bidder!

Hosea never stopped loving Gomer, no matter what she did and how low she sank, so God never stopped loving Israelites despite their evil ways and turning their backs to Him by worshipping golden cows and pagan gods. God loves us even though we are unworthy of His love!
