Hosea 3:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide with [a]me many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be to none other man, and I will be so unto thee.
4 For the children of Israel shall [b]remain many days without a king and without a [c]prince, and without an offering, and without an image, and without an Ephod, and without Teraphim.
5 Afterward shall the children of Israel convert and seek the Lord their God, and [d]David their king, and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
