Hosea 3:1-2

New Living Translation

Hosea’s Wife Is Redeemed

3 Then the Lord said to me, “Go and love your wife again, even though she^[a] commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the Lord still loves Israel, even though the people have turned to other gods and love to worship them.^[b]”

² So I bought her back for fifteen pieces of silver^[c] and five bushels of barley and a measure of wine.^[d]
