The Book of Hosea is a one of the "Minor Prophet" books of the [[Old Testament]]. It stands first in order among what are known as the twelve Minor Prophets. It is a record of the prophecies of the prophet [[Hosea]] to the northern [[kingdom of Israel]] (also called Ephraim after its largest tribe) in the 8th century BC. Hosea spoke about the inward moral corruption and spiritual adultery of the people who had been unfaithful to [[God]] and worshipped other gods. Hosea repeatedly echoes this message: God abhors hates the sins of his people; and judgement is certain; , but God's loyal incredible forgiving love stands firm.
