Damaged Goods ! / Did God tell you 2 Marry GOMER the Prostitute ?

Hosea Chapter 3 vs. 1 is simply mind-boggling to regular people. Especially those " self-righteous" folk who think they know God.  Why would a HOLY God tell HIS Prophet to be unequally yoked on purpose ? Why would God demand that the Prophet Hosea pay $ for an " Unclean" woman married to another man.

Why would God make him run after her when she eventually left him & cheated on him ? Hosea was not only made to go buy her back, but he had to pay to get her back. * How many Godly men would accept this assignment ?
