HOSEA
Chapter 3
Hose | JPS | 3:1 | And HaShem said unto me: 'Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend and an adulteress, even as HaShem loveth the children of Israel, though they turn unto other gods, and love cakes of raisins. | |
Hose | JPS | 3:2 | So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley; | |
Hose | JPS | 3:3 | and I said unto her: 'Thou shalt sit solitary for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be any man's wife; nor will I be thine.' | |
Hose | JPS | 3:4 | For the children of Israel shall sit solitary many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim; | |
