New King James Version

Hosea 3:2-5 New King James Version (NKJV)

2. So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley.

3. And I said to her, “You shall stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man—so, too, will I be toward you.”

4. For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim.

5. Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the latter days.
