Hosea 3 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Hosea’s Redemption of Gomer

Hos 3:1

Then the LORD said to me, “Go again, love [fn]a woman who is loved by her [fn]husband, yet is committing adultery, as the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love [fn]raisin cakes.”

Hos 3:2So I purchased her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and a [fn]homer and a [fn]lethech of barley.
Hos 3:3Then I said to her, “You shall live with me for many days. You shall not play the prostitute, nor shall you have another man; so I will also be toward you.”
Hos 3:4For the sons of Israel will live for many days without a king or leader, without sacrifice or memorial stone, and without ephod or [fn]household idols.
Hos 3:5Afterward 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.
