Hosea 3:1-2
1Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another1 and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love to offer raisin cakes to idols.2”
2So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver3 and a homer and a lethech of barley.4
