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.
