3:1 And Yehovah said to me, Go yet, and 
    love a woman that loves evil things, an adulteress, even as Yehovah loves 
    the children of Israel, and they have respect to strange gods, and love 
    cakes of dried grapes.  
     
    3:2 So I hired [her] to myself for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer 
    of barley, and a flagon of wine. 
     
    3:3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt wait for me many days; and thou shalt 
    not commit fornication, neither shalt thou be for [another] man; and I [will 
    be] for thee. 
     
    3:4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and 
    without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an altar, and without 
    a priesthood, and without manifestations.  
     
    3:5 And afterward shall the children of Israel return, and shall seek Yehovah their Elohim, and David their king; and shall be amazed at Yehovah and at 
    his goodness in the latter days.  | 
    3:1 Then said Yehovah unto me, Go yet, love 
    a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of 
    Yehovah toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love 
    flagons of wine. 
     
    3:2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of 
    barley, and an half homer of barley: 
     
    3:3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not 
    play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be 
    for thee. 
     
    3:4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and 
    without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without 
    an ephod, and without teraphim: 
     
    3:5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek Yehovah their 
    Elohim, and David their king; and shall fear Yehovah and his goodness in the 
    latter days.  |
