Hosea 3

CHAPTER 3 Israel Will Return to The LORD

1 And the lord said to me, You go again and love a woman loving evil and an adulteress! even as [²loves ¹the lord] the sons of Israel, and they look away unto strange gods, and are fond of cakes with dried grapes. 2 And I hired her to myself for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer of barley, and a skin flask of wine. 3 And I said to her, [²days ¹Many] you shall sit down by me, and in no way should you commit harlotry, nor should you be to a man, and I will be unto you. 4 For [²days ¹many] [⁴shall sit down ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] with there not being a king, nor there being a ruler, nor there being a sacrifice, nor there being an altar, nor a priesthood, nor manifestations. 5 And after these things [⁴shall return ¹the ²sons ³of Israel], and they shall seek the lord their God, and David their king; and they shall be amazed over the lord, and over his good things at the latter end of the days.
