Hosea 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
