“When the LORD first began speaking to Israel through Hosea, he said to him,
"Go and marry a prostitute, [2] so some of her children will be born to you from other men. This will illustrate the way my people have been untrue to me,
openly committing adultery against the LORD by worshiping other gods.“

Do you need to ask him for forgiveness?
