Hosea 3
1 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her
friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children
of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an
homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou
shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also
be for thee.
4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king,
and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without
an ephod, and without teraphim:
5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD
their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the
latter days.
