Oséias 2

5For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.

7And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.

Da mesma forma em que Gomer retornaria a seu marido ao pensar que estaria melhor com ele, a gente freqüentemente retorna a Deus quando descobre que as lutas da vida são muito difíceis. O retornar a Deus por causa do desespero é melhor que rebelar-se contra O, mas é muito melhor voltar-se para O em gratidão por seu amparo.
