Bible, King James Version
Hosea
Hos.3
[1] Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman
beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love
of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other
gods, and love flagons of wine.
[2] So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver,
and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
[3] And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many
days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for
another man: so will I also be for thee.
[4] For the children of Israel shall abide many days
without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice,
and without an image, and without an ephod, and without
teraphim:
[5] Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and
seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the
LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
