Hosea (Osee) 3

¹ And the Lord said to me: Go yet again, and love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress: as the Lord loveth the children of Israel, and they look to strange gods, and love the husks of the grapes.

² And I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a core of barley, and for half a core of barley.

³ And I said to her: Thou shalt wait for me many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be no man's, and I also will wait for thee.

⁴ For the children of Israel shall sit many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without ephod, and without theraphim .

⁵ And after this the children of Israel shall return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king : and they shall fear the Lord, and his goodness in the last days. [4] "Theraphim" : Images or representations. [5] "David their king" : That is, Christ, who is of the house of David.
