Hosea 3:3-5
Living Bible
3 and I said to her, “You must live alone for many days; do not go out with other men nor be a prostitute, and I will wait for you.”
4 This illustrates the fact that Israel will be a long time without a king or prince, and without an altar, Temple, priests, or even idols!
5 Afterward they will return to the Lord their God and to the Messiah, their King,[a] and they shall come trembling, submissive to the Lord and to his blessings in the end times.
