Hosea 3:1-3

Modern English Version

Hosea Redeems His Wife

3 Then the Lord said to me, “Go, again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just as the Lord loves the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love raisin cakes.”

² So I purchased her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and for a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley. ³ Then I said to her, “You will remain with me many days. You will not play the whore, and you will not belong to another man. And also I will be with you.”
