Then the LORD said to me,Go again,love a woman who is loved by a lover and is comitting adultery,just like the love of the LORD for the children of Israel,who look to the other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.
2 "So I brought her myself for fifteen shekels of silver,and one and one-half homers of barley.
3 And I said to her,"You shall stay with me many days;you shall not play the harlot,nor shall you have a man-so,too ,will I be toward you."
4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince,without sacrifice or saceed pillar,without ephod or teraphim.
5 Afterward the children of Israel shall reeturn and seek the LORD their GOD and David their king.They shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days.Hosea 3
