Hosea 3 is the third, as well as shortest, chapter of the Book of Hosea in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The book, a member of the Twelve Minor Prophets, contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet Hosea, son of Beeri; chapter 3 refers autobiographically to Hosea's marriage to a woman who is an adulterer. His purchase of her from a paramour is treated in the Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary as a symbol of "Israel's condition in their present dispersion, subsequent to their return from Babylon".
