Hosea 3:1-4

Hosea 3:1-4

[1] Then said  the LORD  yet, love  a woman  beloved  of her friend,  yet an adulteress,  according to the love  of the LORD  toward the children  of Israel,  who look  to other  gods,  and love  flagons  of wine.  [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] 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. [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:
