3:1 | Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman [who is] loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the LORD for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love [the] raisin cakes [of the pagans]." | 3:2 | So I bought her for myself for fifteen [shekels] of silver, and one and onehalf homers of barley. | 3:3 | And I said to her, "You shall stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a manso, too, [will] I [be] toward you." | 3:4 | For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or [sacred] pillar, without ephod or teraphim. | 3:5 | Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days. |
