Verse KJV King James Version BSB Berean Standard Bible

Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend , yet an adulteress , according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel , who look to other gods , and love flagons of wine .

Then the LORD said to me, “ Go show love to your wife again , though she is loved by another and is an adulteress . Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites , though they turn to other gods and offer raisin cakes to idols . ”

So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver , and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley :

So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley .

And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee .

Then I said to her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be promiscuous or belong to another , and I will do the same for you . ”

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king , and without a prince, and without a sacrifice , and without an image , and without an ephod , and without teraphim:

For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar , and without ephod or idol.

Afterward shall the children of Israel return , and seek the LORD their God , and David their king ; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

Afterward , the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king . They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
