Hosea 3:1-3 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. Then the Lord said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the sons 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 shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you."
