“1 ¶ Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of [her]
friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the
children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine. 2
So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and [for] an homer
of barley, and an half homer 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 for [another] man: so [will] I also [be] for thee. 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.” (Hosea 3:1-5 AV)
