the bible has always proven itself to be correct

Circular reasoning.

Circular reasoning.

That doesn't excuse circular reasoning.

Circular reasoning.

Well, if the Bible was really true, then if the Bible were to talk about itself, then it would surely say that the Bible was really true!

Statements of circular logic do not authenticate themselves, but neither do they automatically disqualify themselves from being true.

Agreed entirely. But you don't get to say that the Bible is true because the Bible says so. If that were the case, the Qur'an would be true, also.

In fact, the Bible is probably the only book in this world which CAN say that.

If what's said in Hosea echoed something recorded in the Judges, then, in a sense, the Bible proves Itself.
