Hosea 3 (The Darby Translation)
View In My Bible
1
And Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a woman beloved of a friend, a and an adulteress, according to the love of Jehovah for the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love raisin-cakes.
2
So I bought her to me for fifteen silver [pieces], and for a homer of barley, and a half-homer b 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 [another] man's, and I will also be for thee.
4
For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without statue, c and without ephod and teraphim.
5
Afterwards shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king; and shall turn with fear toward Jehovah and toward his goodness, at the end of the days.
