Hosea Chapter Three

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.
