3:1 The Lord said to me again, ‘Go, love a woman who has a lover and is an adulteress, just as the Lord loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.’
3:2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer of barley and a measure of wine.
3:3 And I said to her, ‘You must remain as mine for many days; you shall not play the whore, you shall not have intercourse with a man, nor I with you.’
3:4 For the Israelites shall remain many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim.
3:5 Afterwards the Israelites shall return and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; they shall come in awe to the Lord and to his goodness in the latter days.
