Return O Israel to the Lord Your God

There's always a story of restoration and redemption. The life of hosea, this guy who marries a woman who's going to be unfaithful on purpose, just so that he can go take her back and love her again. And i think of the redemption cycle in the book of judges, it's just, this is who god is. He loves his people like a jealous husband loves his spouse. So we have this prophecy that ends in hope. Now, this is going to be experienced by god's people. They're going to come back, and they're gong to be restored to god - because god's patience never runs dry.
