Hosea 3:1-4

1Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “GoH1980 againH5750, loveH157 a 1womanH802 who is lovedH157 by her 2husbandH7453, yet an adulteressH5003, even 3as the LordH3068 lovesH157 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, though they turnH6437 to otherH312 godsH430 and loveH157 raisinH809H6025 4cakesH809.”

2So I 5boughtH3739 her for myself for fifteenH2568H6240 shekels of silverH3701 and a homerH2563 and a 6halfH3963 of barleyH8184.

3Then I saidH559 to her, “You shall 7stayH3427 with me for manyH7227 daysH3117. You shall not playH2181 the harlotH2181, norH3808 shall you haveH1961 a 8manH376; so I will alsoH1571 be towardH413 you.”
