Hosea's
Second Symbolic Marriage |
|
|
 |
|
Hosea 3:1
|
|
Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a
woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the
sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes." |
|
|
|
|
|
Hosea 3:2
|
|
So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels
of silver and a homer and a half of barley. |
| |
|
|
|
Hosea 3:3
|
|
Then I said to her, "You shall stay with me
for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will
also be toward you." |
| |
|
|
|
Hosea 3:4
|
|
For the sons of Israel will remain for many
days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar and without ephod
or household idols. |
| |
|
|
|
Hosea 3:5
|
|
Afterward the sons of Israel will return and
seek the LORD their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to
the LORD and to His goodness in the last days. |
