Today, we get a sexually graphic description of Israel and Judah's rebellion against God - to foreign powers and foreign gods. To say it is graphic would be an understatement. However, we get a God-s-eye view of what their rebellion looks and feels like to God. We also see the futility of it from Israel's and Judah's view.
Rebellion against God is lewd and distasteful. We need these descriptions from time to time to remind us that God alone is our "lover." He is our "husband," for us to be faithful to for all time.To do otherwise is like prostituting ourselves to other lovers who don't love us back.
