Jeremiah 31:19
19For after aI had turned away, I relented,and after I was instructed, bI struck my thigh;
cI was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
Ezekiel 16:22
22And in all your abominations and your whorings you did not remember dthe days of your youth, ewhen you were naked and bare, wallowing in your blood.Ezekiel 16:43
43Because you have not remembered fthe days of your youth, but have enraged me with all these things, therefore, behold, gI have returned your deeds upon your head, declares the Lord God. Have you not hcommitted lewdness in addition to all your abominations?Ezekiel 16:60-63
60yet iI will remember my covenant with you jin the days of your youth, kand I will establish for you an everlasting covenant. 61 lThen you will remember your ways mand be ashamed when you take nyour sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you oas daughters, but not on account of ▼▼Or not apart from
the covenant with you. 62I will establish my covenant with you, qand you shall know that I am the Lord, 63that you may remember and be confounded, and rnever open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.” Hosea 3
Hosea Redeems His Wife
1And the Lord said to me, s“Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins.” 2So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a thomer and a lethech ▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams; a homer was about 6 bushels or 220 liters; a lethech was about 3 bushels or 110 liters
of barley. 3And I said to her, “You must vdwell as mine for many days. You shall not play the whore, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you.” 4For the children of Israel wshall dwell many days xwithout king or prince, ywithout sacrifice or zpillar, without aaephod or abhousehold gods. 5Afterward acthe children of Israel shall return and adseek the Lord their God, and aeDavid their king, afand they shall come in fear to the Lord and to his goodness in the aglatter days.
