3RD CHAPTER
Hosea’s Adulterous Wife
1Then the Lord told me, “Love your wife again, even though she is loved by others and has committed adultery. Love her as I, the Lord, love the Israelites, even though they have turned to other gods and love to eat raisin cakes.”
2So I bought her for 23 ounces of silver and 10 bushels of barley. 3Then I told her, “You must wait for me a long time. Don’t be a prostitute or offer yourself to any man. I will wait for you.”
4In the same way, the Israelites will wait a long time without kings or officials, without sacrifices or sacred stones, and without ephodsaor family idols. 5After that, the Israelites will turn and look to the Lord their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the Lord for his blessings in the last days.
