All the similes and metaphors were intended to illustrate the serious condition of Israel at the time in which Hosea prophesied. His warnings, if not heeded would eventually lead to judgment upon the Northern Kingdom to which his message was urgently addressed.

Since the nation in the north did not heed the message the resultant judgment came in the form of the defeat by and resultant captivity under the Assyrians, noted for their cruelty. The Assyrians also followed their usual habit of taking many thousands of people captive as slaves, most of these, if any, never to return to their land.
