Then the LORD said to me, “Go again, love a 1woman who is loved by her 2husband, yet an adulteress, even aas the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin bcakes.” So I abought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a 1half of barley. Then I said to her, “You shall astay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a 1man; so I will also be toward you.” For the sons of Israel will remain for many days awithout king or prince, bwithout sacrifice or sacred cpillar and without dephod or 1ehousehold idols. Afterward the sons of Israel will areturn and seek the LORD their God and bDavid their king; and cthey will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.

Then the LORD said to me, “Go again, love a woman (1Gomer) who is beloved by her husband and yet is an adulteress, even aas the LORD loves the 2children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love the braisin cakes used in the feasts in pagan worship.” So I abought her for myself for 1fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley the price of a common slave. And I said to her, “You shall astay with me for many days. You shall not play the prostitute nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you until you have proved your faithfulness.” For the sons of Israel will remain for many days awithout king or prince, bwithout sacrifice or idolatrous cpillar, and without 1dephod or eteraphim (household idols) . Afterward the sons of Israel will areturn in deep repentance and seek the LORD their God and seek from the line of bDavid their king the King of kings—the Messiah; and cthey will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness and blessing in the last days.
