Hosea, Chapter 3

¹ Then the LORD said to me, “Go again, love a^awoman who is loved by her^bhusband, yet an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.” ² So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a^chalf of barley. ³ Then I said to her, “You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a^dman; so I will also be toward you.” ⁴ For the sons of Israel will remain for many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar and without ephod or^ehousehold idols. ⁵ Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
