1 et dixit Dominus ad me
adhuc vade dilige mulierem dilectam amico et adulteram
sicut diligit Dominus filios Israhel
et ipsi respectant ad deos alienos
et diligunt vinacea uvarum
2 et fodi eam mihi quindecim argenteis
et choro hordei et dimidio choro hordei
3 et dixi ad eam dies multos expectabis me
non fornicaberis et non eris viro sed et ego expectabo te
4 quia dies multos sedebunt filii Israhel sine rege et sine principe
et sine sacrificio et sine altari et sine ephod et sine therafin
5 et post haec revertentur filii Israhel
et quaerent Dominum Deum suum et David regem suum
et pavebunt ad Dominum et ad bonum eius in novissimo dierum
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. 2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: 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: 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.
