1Then said Yahuah (LORD) unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of Yahuah (LORD) toward the children of Yashar'el (Israel), who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
2So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
3And I said unto her, You shall abide for me many days; you shall not play the harlot, and you shall not be for another man: so will I also be for you.
4For the children of Yashar'el (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:
5Afterward shall the children of Yashar'el (Israel) return, and seek Yahuah (LORD) their Elohim (God), and David their king; and shall fear Yahuah (LORD) and his goodness in the latter days.
