1Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.of wine: Heb. of grapes
2So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:half�: Heb. lethech
3And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.
4Sebab bani Israel akan berdiam banyak zaman tanpa seorang raja, dan tanpa seorang penguasa, dan tanpa korban, dan tanpa gambar, dan tanpa efod, dan tanpa terafim:
5Selepas itu bani Israel akan kembali, dan mencari Tuhan Allah mereka, dan Daud raja mereka; dan akan takut kepada Tuhan dan kebaikkannya pada zaman terakhir.
