Hosea 3 : 1 - 5
Chapter 3
1 | Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the LORD for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans." |
2 | So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley. |
3 | And I said to her, "You shall stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man--so, too, will I be toward you." |
4 | For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim. |
5 | Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days. |
