Hosea - Chapter 3 |
| |
  
   | Hsa 3:1 | And 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." |
| Hsa 3:2 | So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley. |
| Hsa 3:3 | And 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." |
| Hsa 3:4 | For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim. |
| Hsa 3:5 | Afterward 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. |
