Hosea 3:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

3 Then the LORD said to me, “Go again. Love a woman (beloved by her husband, but also a harlot) according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, though they looked to other gods and loved the wine bottles.”

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

³ And I said to her, “You shall abide with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot and you shall not have another man. And I will be so to you.”
