Hosea’s Redemption of Gomer
3 Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet is committing adultery, (A)as the Lord loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin (B)cakes.” 2 So I (C)purchased her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and a homer and a lethech of barley. 3 Then I said to her, “You shall (D)live with me for many days. You shall not play the prostitute, nor shall you have another man; so I will also be toward you.” 4 For the sons of Israel will live for many days (E)without a king or leader, (F)without sacrifice or (G)memorial stone, and without (H)ephod or (I)household idols. 5 Afterward the sons of Israel will (J)return and seek the Lord their God and (K)David their king; and (L)they will come trembling to the Lord and to His goodness in the last days.
