Hoseas otrogna hustru
3 Herren sade till mig: "Gå och älska din hustru igen, fastän hon älskas av en annan och har begått äktenskapsbrott. Älska henne som jag, Herren, älskar Israels barn, fastän de vänder sig till andra gudar och älskar druvkakor."[a]
2 Och jag köpte henne åt mig och gav för henne femton siklar silver och en homer och en letek korn. 3 Jag sade till henne: "Under lång tid skall du vara hos mig. Bedriv inte otukt och ge dig inte åt någon annan man. Jag skall vara hos dig."
4 Ty under lång tid skall Israels barn bli utan kung och furste,
utan offer och stoder och utan efod och husgudar.
5 Sedan skall Israels barn vända om och söka Herren, sin Gud,
och David, sin kung.
Med fruktan skall de söka Herren
och hans godhet i kommande dagar.

Hosea’s Reconciliation With His Wife
3 The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress.(A) Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.(B)”
2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels[a] of silver and about a homer and a lethek[b] of barley. 3 Then I told her, “You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will behave the same way toward you.”
4 For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince,(C) without sacrifice(D) or sacred stones,(E) without ephod(F) or household gods.(G) 5 Afterward the Israelites will return and seek(H) the Lord their God and David their king.(I) They will come trembling(J) to the Lord and to his blessings in the last days.(K)

Hosea Redeems His Wife
3 And the Lord said to me, (A)“Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins.” 2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a (B)homer and a lethech[a] of barley. 3 And I said to her, “You must (C)dwell as mine for many days. You shall not play the whore, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you.” 4 For the children of Israel (D)shall dwell many days (E)without king or prince, (F)without sacrifice or (G)pillar, without (H)ephod or (I)household gods. 5 Afterward (J)the children of Israel shall return and (K)seek the Lord their God, and (L)David their king, (M)and they shall come in fear to the Lord and to his goodness in the (N)latter days.
