何西阿贖回不忠的妻子

耶和華對我說:“你再去愛一個婦人,這婦人是為情人所愛,又是個淫婦,就像耶和華愛以色列人,雖然他們轉去跟隨別神,喜愛葡萄餅。”

於是,我用一百七十一克銀子,一百五十公斤大麥,買她回來歸我。

我對她說:“你要給我獨居多日,不要行淫,不要有別的男人,我也必不與你同房。”

以色列回轉歸主再蒙眷愛

因為以色列人也要獨居多日;沒有君王,沒有領袖,沒有祭祀,沒有柱像,沒有以弗得,也沒有家中的神像。

後來以色列人必歸回,尋求耶和華他們的 神,尋求大衛他們的王。在末後的日子,他們必戰戰兢兢來到耶和華那裡,接受他的恩惠。

1 The Jews shall be cast off for their idolatry. 5 Afterward they shall return to the Lord.

Then said the Lord to me, [a]Go yet, and love a woman (beloved of her husband, and was an harlot) according to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel: yet they looked to other gods, and [b]loved the wine bottles.

So [c]I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley.

And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide with [d]me many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be to none other man, and I will be so unto thee.

For the children of Israel shall [e]remain many days without a king and without a [f]prince, and without an offering, and without an image, and without an Ephod, and without Teraphim.

Afterward shall the children of Israel convert and seek the Lord their God, and [g]David their king, and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
