Hosea 3

Hosea's Second Symbolic Marriage

1

Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a  1woman who is loved by her  2husband, yet an adulteress, even  aas the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin  bcakes."

2

So I  abought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a  1half of barley.

3

Then 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."

4

For 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.

5

Afterward the sons of Israel will  areturn and seek the LORD their God and  bDavid their king; and  cthey will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
