1 And Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a woman beloved of a friend, and an adulteress, according to the love of Jehovah for the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love raisin-cakes.2 So I bought her to me for fifteen silver {pieces}, and for a homer of barley, and a 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 {another} man's, and I will also be for thee.4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without statue, and without ephod and teraphim.5 Afterwards shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king; and shall turn with fear toward Jehovah and toward his goodness, at the end of the days.

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。
