Hosea 3
1The LORD said to me, “Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins.”
2So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley.
3I said to her, “You shall stay with me many days. You shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be with any other man. I will also be so toward you.”
4For the children of Israel shall live many days without , without prince, without , without sacred stone, and without ephod or idols.
5Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their , and shall come with trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days.
