何西阿复娶妻

耶和华对我说:“你再去爱一个淫妇,就是她情人所爱的;好像以色列人,虽然偏向别神,喜爱葡萄饼,耶和华还是爱他们。” 我便用银子十五舍客勒,大麦一贺梅珥半,买她归我。 我对她说:“你当多日为我独居,不可行淫,不可归别人为妻,我向你也必这样。” 以色列人也必多日独居,无君王,无首领,无祭祀,无柱像,无以弗得,无家中的神像。

以色列归主蒙恩

后来以色列人必归回[a],寻求他们的神耶和华和他们的王大卫。在末后的日子,必以敬畏的心归向耶和华,领受他的恩惠。

Hosea Redeems His Wife

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.” So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a (B)homer and a lethech[a] of barley. 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.” 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. 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.

Hosea’s Reconciliation With His Wife

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)

So I bought her for fifteen shekels[a] of silver and about a homer and a lethek[b] of barley. 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.”

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) 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)
