1 耶和华对我说："你再去爱一个妇人，这妇人是为情人所爱，又是个淫妇，就像耶和华爱以色列人，虽然他们转去跟随别神，喜爱葡萄饼。"

2 于是，我用一百七十一克银子，一百五十公斤大麦，买她回来归我。

3 我对她说："你要给我独居多日，不要行淫，不要有别的男人，我也必不与你同房。"

4 因为以色列人也要独居多日；没有君王，没有领袖，没有祭祀，没有柱像，没有以弗得，也没有家中的神像。

5 后来以色列人必归回，寻求耶和华他们的　神，寻求大卫他们的王。在末后的日子，他们必战战兢兢来到耶和华那里，接受他的恩惠。

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.*3.1 of wine: Heb. of grapes 2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:*3.2 half…: Heb. lethech 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:*3.4 image: Heb. a standing, or, statue, or, pillar 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.
