Hosea 3

   |   

Hosea Marries Again

1 Then Yahweh said to me, "Go again, love a (F1)woman who is loved by her companion and is an adulteress, even (C1)as Yahweh loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin (C2)cakes."2 So I (C1)bargained for her for myself for fifteen (F1)shekels of silver and a (F2)homer and a (F3)half of barley.3 Then I said to her, "You shall (C1)stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a (F1)man; so I will also be toward you."4 For the sons of Israel will remain for many days (C1)without king or prince, (C2)without sacrifice or sacred (C3)pillar, and without (C4)ephod or (F1)(C5)household idols.5 Afterward the sons of Israel will (C1)return and seek Yahweh their God and (C2)David their king; and (C3)they will come (F1)in dread to Yahweh and to His goodness in the last days.
