Hosea 3

1 By the expiation of an adulteress, 4 is shewed the desolation of Israel before their restoration.

 3:1 ¶ Then said the LORD to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved by [her] friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD towards the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.

 3:2 So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and [for] a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley:

 3:3 And I said to her, Thou shalt abide 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.

 3:4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and [without] teraphim:

 3:5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
