Hosea 3 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Hos 3:1And the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress; even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins."
Hos 3:2So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.
Hos 3:3And I said to her, "You must dwell as mine for many days; you shall not play the harlot, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you."
Hos 3:4For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim.
Hos 3:5Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and they shall come in fear to the LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.
