1 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me, Go1980 yet,5750 love157 a woman802 beloved157 of her friend,7453 yet an adulteress,5003 according to the love160 of the LORD3068 toward853 the children1121 of Israel,3478 who1992 look6437 to413 other312 gods,430 and love157 flagons809 of wine.6025

2 So I bought3739 her to me for fifteen2568 6240 pieces of silver,3701 and for a homer2563 of barley,8184 and a half homer3963 of barley: 8184

3 And I said559 unto413 her, Thou shalt abide3427 for me many7227 days;3117 thou shalt not3808 play the harlot,2181 and thou shalt not3808 be1961 for another man:376 so will I589 also1571 be for413 thee.

4 For3588 the children1121 of Israel3478 shall abide3427 many7227 days3117 without369 a king,4428 and without369 a prince,8269 and without369 a sacrifice,2077 and without369 an image,4676 and without369 an ephod,646 and without teraphim: 8655

5 Afterward310 shall the children1121 of Israel3478 return,7725 and seek1245 853 the LORD3068 their God,430 and David1732 their king;4428 and shall fear6342 413 the LORD3068 and his goodness2898 in the latter319 days.3117

Hosea

Chapter 3

1 THEN the LORD said to me, Go again, love a woman who is fond of doing evil things and an adulteress, as the LORD loves the children of Israel, though they have turned and have gone after other gods, and love raisin cakes.

2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and half of barley;

3 And I said to her, You shall dwell as my wife for many days; you shall not play the harlot, and you shall not be for other men; so will I also be for you.

4 For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without a king and without a ruler and without a sacrifice and without an altar, and without the one who wears an ephod and burns incense.

5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and they shall know the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
