The imagery and metaphors used in Hosea are best interpreted through the use of socio-rhetorical methodology. With the aid of this methodology, the reading of the metaphors in Hosea has emerged recently; they are used to illustrate social, political, economic and religious relationships. Hosea uses different images, to highlight God’s love for the people of Israel. The images chosen are of human relationships, ones that Israelites can easily understand — marital (husband-wife), parental (parent-child), and healing (physician-patient). These images remind Israel that she has broken the Sinaitic covenant, gravely impairing the relationship. The broken covenant hurts Yahweh and yet he is willing to repair it on account of his “steadfast love.” The images are found in Hosea 2-3, Hosea 11 and Hosea 14, the select texts of our study.
