## Hosea Marries Again
|
||
|
|
||
|
###### 1
|
||
|
Then Yahweh said to me, "Go again, love a woman _who_ is loved by _her_ companion and is an adulteress, even as Yahweh loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes."
|
||
|
|
||
|
###### 2
|
||
|
So I bargained for her for myself for fifteen _shekels_ of silver and a homer and a half of barley.
|
||
|
|
||
|
###### 3
|
||
|
Then I said to her, "You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
###### 4
|
||
|
For the sons of Israel will remain for many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or _sacred_ pillar, and without ephod or household idols.
|
||
|
|
||
|
###### 5
|
||
|
Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek Yahweh their God and David their king; and they will come in dread to Yahweh and to His goodness in the last days.
