3:1
The LORD said to me again, "Go, love a woman who has a lover and is an adulteress, just as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes."
3:2
So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer of barley and a measure of wine.
3:3
And I said to her, "You must remain as mine for many days; you shall not play the whore, you shall not have intercourse with a man, nor I with you."
3:4
For the Israelites shall remain many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim.
3:5
Afterward the Israelites shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; they shall come in awe to the LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.
