Hosea 3
Hosea Marries Again
3Then Yahweh said to me, “Go again, love a 1woman who is loved by her companion and is an adulteress, even aas Yahweh loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin bcakes.” 2So I abargained for her for myself for fifteen 1shekels of silver and a 2homer and a 3half of barley. 3Then I said to her, “You shall astay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a 1man; so I will also be toward you.” 4For the sons of Israel will remain for many days awithout king or prince, bwithout sacrifice or sacred cpillar, and without dephod or 1,ehousehold idols. 5Afterward the sons of Israel will areturn and seek Yahweh their God and bDavid their king; and cthey will come 1in dread to Yahweh and to His goodness in the last days.
