1
Then said the LORD unto me Go yet love a woman beloved of her friend yet an adulteress according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel who look to other gods and love flagons of wine
2
So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver and for an homer of barley and an half homer of barley
3
And I said unto 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
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
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
