About the Book of Hosea Quiz

Hosea prophesied to the northern kingdom of Israel in its last decades before it fell to Assyria. God told him to marry Gomer, who would be unfaithful to him, and his heartbreaking marriage became a living picture of Israel's unfaithfulness to God. His children were given names of judgment, and later he bought his wife back. The book moves between sharp warnings and some of the most tender words in the prophets: God leading Israel with cords of love, asking how he could give them up, and promising to heal their waywardness. This quiz covers all 14 chapters, and every answer comes with the chapter and verse.
