Then said [0559] the Lord [03068] unto me, Go [03212] yet, love [0157] a woman [0802] beloved [0157] of her friend [07453], yet an adulteress [05003], according to the love [0160] of the Lord [03068] toward the children [01121] of Israel [03478], who look [06437] to other [0312] gods [0430], and love [0157] flagons [0809] of wine [06025].of wine: Heb. of grapes
So I bought [03739] her to me for fifteen [02568] [06240] pieces of silver [03701], and for an homer [02563] of barley [08184], and an half homer [03963] of barley [08184]:half…: Heb. lethech
And I said [0559] unto her, Thou shalt abide [03427] for me many [07227] days [03117]; thou shalt not play the harlot [02181], and thou shalt not be [01961] for another man [0376]: so will I also be for thee.
For the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall abide [03427] many [07227] days [03117] without a king [04428], and without a prince [08269], and without a sacrifice [02077], and without an image [04676], and without an ephod [0646], and without teraphim [08655]:image: Heb. a standing, or, statue, or, pillar
Afterward [0310] shall the children [01121] of Israel [03478] return [07725], and seek [01245] the Lord [03068] their God [0430], and David [01732] their king [04428]; and shall fear [06342] the Lord [03068] and his goodness [02898] in the latter [0319] days [03117].
