Hosea 3 - King James 20001 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her lover, and an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love cakes of raisins. 2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley: 3 And I said unto her, you shall abide with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, and you shall not be for another man: so will I also be to you. 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. |
