Hosea 3:1-2

International Standard Version

Hosea Reconciles with His Wife

3 Then the Lord told me: “Go love your wife^[a] again, even though she is being loved by another and is committing adultery. Love her the same way^[b] the Lord loves the people of Israel, even though they look to other gods and love raisin cakes.”^{[c] 2} So I bought her back for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and one and a half omers^[d] of barley.
