Hosea 3:1-2
Lexham English Bible

Another Symbolic Marriage

3 And Yahweh said to me again,
“Go, love a woman
who has a lover[a] and is committing adultery,
    just like the love of Yahweh for the children of Israel,
but they are turning to other gods
    and love raisin cakes.”
2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver
    and a homer of barely and a measure of wine.[b]
