1	Then 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]
			2	So 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]
			3	And 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.
			4	For the children of Israel shall abide# many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: [image: Heb. a standing, or, statue, or, pillar]
			5	Afterward shall the children of Israel return# , and seek# the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear# the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
