Parallel
Hosea 3
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
And the Lord said to me, Go yet, and love a woman that loves evil things, and an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, and they have respect to strange gods, and love cakes of dried grapes.
Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another (note: Or Go show love to a woman who is loved by another) and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love to offer raisin cakes to idols.”
So I hired [her] to myself for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a flagon of wine.
So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver (note: 15 shekels is approximately 6 ounces or 171 grams of silver.) and a homer and a lethech of barley (note: Or a homer and a half of barley; that is, a total of approximately 9.36 bushels or 330 liters (probably about 436 pounds or 198 kilograms of barley); LXX a homer of barley and a wineskin full of wine).
And I said unto her, Thou shalt wait for me many days; and thou shalt not commit fornication, neither shalt thou be for [another] man; and I [will be] for thee.
Then I said to her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be promiscuous or belong to another, and I will do the same for you.”
For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an altar, and without a priesthood, and without manifestations.
For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or idol.
And afterward shall the children of Israel return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall be amazed at the Lord and at his goodness in the latter days.
Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
