3:1
And the LORD said to me, 'Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress;even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins.'
3:2
So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.
3:3
And I said to her, 'You must dwell as mine for many days;you shall not play the harlot, or belong to another man;so will I also be to you.'
3:4
For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim.
3:5
Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their king;and they shall come in fear to the LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.
