Hosea 3

Then said the Lord unto me, ^aGo yet, love a woman beloved of her ^bfriend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love ^cflagons of wine. ²So I ^dbought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for ^ea homer of barley, and a half homer of barley: ³and I said unto her, Thou shalt ^fabide 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. ⁴For the children of Israel shall abide many days ^gwithout a king, and without a prince, and ^ggwithout a sacrifice, and without ^han image, and without an ^ijephod, and without ^jkteraphim: ^5kkafterward shall the children of Israel return, and ^lseek the Lord their God, and ^mDavid their king; and ⁿshall fear the Lord and ^ohis goodness ^pin the latter days.
