Hosea 3:1-2

Good News Translation

Hosea and the Unfaithful Woman

3 The Lord said to me, “Go again^[a] and show your love for a woman who is committing adultery with a lover. You must love her just as I still love the people of Israel, even though they turn to other gods and like to take offerings of raisins to idols.”^[b]

² So I paid fifteen pieces of silver and seven bushels of barley to buy her.
