Hosea 3

MSTC(i) 1 Then said the LORD to me, "Go yet thy way and vow an adulterous woman, whom thy neighbour loveth as the LORD doth the children of Israel: howbeit, they have respect to strange gods, and love the wine cans." 2 So I gat her for fifteen silverlings, and for a homer and a half of barley, 3 and said unto her, "Thou shalt bide with me a long season, but see that thou playest not the harlot, and look thou meddle with none other man, and then will I keep myself for thee." 4 Thus the children of Israel shall sit a great while without king and prince, without offering and alter, without priest and revelation. 5 But afterward shall the children of Israel convert, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king: and in the latter days they shall worship the LORD, and his loving-kindness.
