Hosea 3:2-5
New King James Version
2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley. 3 And I said to her, “You shall (A)stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man—so, too, will I be toward you.”
4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days (B)without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without (C)ephod or (D)teraphim. 5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and (E)seek the Lord their God and (F)David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the (G)latter days.
