1 And Jehovah said to me, Go again, love a woman loved by a companion, yet an adulteress, like the love of Jehovah toward the sons of Israel, who turn to other gods and love raisin cakes of grapes.

2 So I bought her for myself with fifteen pieces of silver, and with a homer and a half of barley.

3 And I said to her, You shall stay with me many days. You shall not be a harlot, nor be with another man, and I also will be for you.

4 For the sons of Israel shall remain many days without king or ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillars, and without ephod or teraphim.

5 Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek Jehovah their God and David their king. And they shall fear Jehovah and His goodness in the latter days.
