1The LORD said to me, “Go again; love an adulterous woman, though she is already loved by another man. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.”
LORD said to me, “Go again; love an adulterous woman, though she is already loved by another man. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.”
2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and one and a homer and a half of barley. 3 Then I said to her, “You must stay with me many days. You are not to prostitute yourself or be intimate with any man, and I will do the same toward you.”
4 For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or household idol. 5 Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come with awe to the LORD and to His goodness in the latter days.
