Brief Summary: The Book of Hosea can be divided into two parts: (1) Hosea 1:1-3:5 is a description of an adulterous wife and a faithful husband, symbolic of the unfaithfulness of Israel to God through idolatry, and (2) Hosea 4:1-14:9 contains the condemnation of Israel, especially Samaria, for the worship of idols and her eventual restoration.
Muhtasari kwa kifupi: Kitabu cha Hosea kinaweza kugawanywa katika sehemu mbili: (1) Hosea 1: 1-3: 5 ni maelezo ya mke asiyekuwa mwaminfu na mume mwaminifu, ambayo ni ishara ya kukosa uaminifu kwa Israeli kwa Mungu kupitia kuabadu sanamu, na (2) Hosea 3: 6-14: 9 ina kulaaniwa kwa Israeli, hasa Samaria, kwa ajili ya kuabudu sanamu na marejesho yake ya baadaye.
