Hosea 3

1 And he said Yahweh to me again go love a woman [who] is loved of a companion and [who] commits adultery as loves Yahweh [the] people of Israel and they [are] turning to gods other and [are] loving cakes of grapes.

Then said Yhwh unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of Yhwh toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

2 And I bought her for myself for fif-teen silver and a homer of barley and a lethech of barley.

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 to her days many you will dwell to me not you must prostitute yourself and not you must belong to a man and also I to you.

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 - days many they will dwell [the] people of Israel there not [will be] a king and there not [will be] a prince and there not [will be] sacrifice and there not [will be] a pillar and there not [will be] an ephod and teraphim.

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 After they will return [the] people of Israel and they will seek Yahweh God their and David king their and they will be in dread to Yahweh and to goodness his at [the] end of the days.

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek Yhwh their God, and David their king; and shall fear Yhwh and his goodness in the latter days.
