Hosea 3
3
Waiting for Restoration
1Then the Lord said to me, “Go again; show love to a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, # Hs 1:2 just as the Lord loves the Israelites though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.” # 2Sm 6:19; 1Ch 16:3; Sg 2:5
2So I bought her for 15 shekels of silver and five bushels of barley. # LXX reads barley and a measure of wine # Lit silver, a homer of barley, and a lethek of barley # Ru 4:10 3I said to her, “You must live with me many days. Don’t be promiscuous or belong to any man, and I will act the same way toward you.”
4For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, # Hs 13:10-11 without sacrifice # Dn 9:27; 11:31; 12:11; Hs 2:11 or sacred pillar, # Hs 10:1-2 and without ephod # Ex 28:4-12; 1Sm 23:9-12 or household idols. # Gn 31:19,34; Jdg 17:5; 18:14,17 5Afterward, the people of Israel will return # Jr 50:4-5 and seek the Lord their God and David their king. # Is 11:1-10; Jr 23:5-6; 33:15-16; Ezk 34:24; Rm 11:23 They will come with awe to the Lord # Jr 31:9 and to His goodness in the last days.
