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. |
