Hosea 3:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 3:3

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.

5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and ^aseek the Lord their God and ^bDavid their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the ^clatter days.
