Israel Will Return to God
1 Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a alover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.”
2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley.
3 And I said to her, “You shall astay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man—so, too, will I be toward you.”
4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days awithout king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without bephod or cteraphim.
