Hosea 3:2-4

Modern English Version

² So I purchased her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and for a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley. ³ Then I said to her, “You will remain with me many days. You will not play the whore, and you will not belong to another man. And also I will be with you.”

⁴ For the children of Israel will remain many days without a king and without a prince, without a sacrifice and without a standing stone, and without an ephod and teraphim.
