Hosea 3
3 1And Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a woman beloved of
her friend, and an adulteress, even as Jehovah loveth the children of
Israel, though they turn unto other gods, and love cakes of raisins.
2So
I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer of
barley, and a half-homer of barley;
3and I said unto her, Thou shalt
abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be
any man's wife: so will I also be toward thee.
4For the children of
Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without
sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim:
5afterward
shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David
their king, and shall come with fear unto Jehovah and to his goodness in the
latter days.
