1 The LORD said to me, "Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes."2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels "of silver and about a homer and a lethek "of barley.3 Then I told her, "You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will behave the same way toward you."4 For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods.5 Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings in the last days.

1 Et dixit Dominus ad me : Adhuc vade, et dilige mulierem dilectam amico et adulteram, sicut diligit Dominus filios Isral, et ipsi respiciunt ad deos alienos, et diligunt vinacia uvarum. 2 Et fodi eam mihi quindecim argenteis, et coro hordei, et dimidio coro hordi. 3 Et dixi ad eam : Dies multos exspectabis me ; non fornicaberis, et non eris viro ; sed et ego exspectabo te. 4 Quia dies multos sedebunt filii Isral sine rege, et sine principe, et sine sacrificio, et sine altari, et sine ephod, et sine theraphim. 5 Et post hc revertentur filii Isral, et qurent Dominum Deum suum, et David regem suum : et pavebunt ad Dominum, et ad bonum ejus, in novissimo dierum.
