| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - The tradition of describing God and Israel as effectively a husband and wife permeates the Jewish prophetic literature of Isaiah (Isa 5:1-7; 45:4-8), Jeremiah (Jer. 2:2, 32) and Ezekiel (Ez. 16:23) where Israel is a wife given to unfaithfulness.The prophet Hosea takes ???a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms??? (Hos. 1:2) and has 2 sons and a daughter given prophetic names (Hos. 1:3-11).
