Then the LORD said to me , “ Go show love to your wife again , though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD (loves) the Israelites ... , though they turn to other gods and offer raisin cakes (to idols) .... ”
So I bought her for fifteen (shekels) ... of silver and a homer and a lethech ... of barley.
Then I said to her , “ You must live for many days ; you must not be promiscuous ... or belong to another , and I will do the same for you. ”
For the Israelites ... must live many days without king or prince , without sacrifice or sacred pillar , ... and without ephod or idol.
Afterward , the people of Israel will return and seek - the LORD their God - and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
