1. Yahweh said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, just as Yahweh loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.”
2. So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley.
3. Then I said to her, “You are to live with me for many days. You must not be a prostitute or belong to any man, and I too will be yours.”
4. For the people of Israel will live for many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or household gods.
5. Afterward the people of Israel will return and seek Yahweh their God and David their king. They will come trembling to Yahweh and to his goodness in the latter days.
