Hosea 3

1And YHWH says to me: “Again, go, love a woman, loved of a friend, and an adulteress, like the loved of YHWH, the sons of Israel, and they are turning to other gods, and are lovers of grape-cakes.” 2And I buy her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer and a lethech of barley; 3and I say to her, “You remain many days for Me, you do not go whoring, nor become anyone’s; and I also [am] for you.” 4For the sons of Israel remain without a king for many days, and there is no prince, and there is no sacrifice, and there is no standing pillar, and there is no ephod and teraphim.
