Alex: "Well, tell me about yourself, what do you do for a living?"

Contestant: "I'm actually a Bible scholar. I specialize in the book of Hosea. For example, in Hosea 2, God speaks to the people of Israel and tells them that He will take away all of the benefits He had given them. He will take away their grain, wine, oil, and all the other things He had given them. He will also take away their false gods and will no longer allow them to worship them. He will punish them for their unfaithfulness and provide them with a new covenant."

Alex: "That's very interesting, but I'm sure there are more interesting things you can tell me about yourself. What other hobbies do you have?"

Contestant: "Well, I also like to research the book of Hosea. In Hosea 2, God promises to restore Israel and Judah and make them into a single nation. He will bring them back to their land and give them peace and prosperity. He will also restore the relationship between them and Him and will forgive their sins. He will also provide them with a new covenant of love and faithfulness."

Alex: *sighs* "Yes, that's fascinating, but please tell me about something else you enjoy doing. What other hobbies do you have?"

Contestant: "I also like to study Hosea 2. In this chapter, God promises to stop punishing the people of Israel and Judah and to restore them to their former glory. He will end their exile and provide them with a new relationship with Him, one that is characterized by love and faithfulness. He will also provide them with a new covenant of grace and mercy."

Alex: *rolls his eyes* "Yes, that's all very interesting, but I'm sure there are other topics that you could discuss. Can we talk about something else?"

Contestant: "Well, I guess I could also talk about Hosea 2. In this chapter, God promises to restore His people to their land and provide them with a new covenant of love, faithfulness, and grace. He promises to forgive their sins and bring them back to Him. He will end their exile and restore them to their former glory."

Alex: *sighs* "Yes, that's all very nice, but can we talk about something else? Anything else?"
