Alex: "So, tell me about yourself! What do you do for fun?"

Contestant: "Well, I love reading the Bible and summarizing it chapter by chapter. For example, in Hosea 3, God commands Hosea to buy a wife from a prostitute, as a way of illustrating Israel's unfaithfulness to God. Hosea and his wife stay together despite her continuing to work as a prostitute, and this relationship is used to show the mercy and faithfulness of God."

Alex: *sighs* "That's great, but can we talk about something else? Like, what kind of music do you like?"

Contestant: "Sure, but before I do that, I should tell you about Hosea 3. According to the passage, Israel will remain in exile for a long period of time, and God will not abandon them. Even though they will suffer, God will eventually restore them and they will be reunited with him."

Alex: *sighs again* "That's interesting, but I think it's time for us to move on to the next contestant. Thank you for coming."

Contestant: "Wait, I haven't even finished summarizing Hosea 3 yet! The last part of the chapter says that after the exile is over, God will forgive Israel and restore their relationship. He will be as faithful to them as a husband is to his wife."

Alex: *rolls his eyes* "Yes, thank you for summarizing Hosea 3. Now, can we please move on to the next contestant?"
