Verse ASV American Standard Version BSB Berean Standard Bible

And Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a woman beloved of `her' friend , and an adulteress , even as Jehovah loveth the children of Israel , though they turn unto other gods , and love cakes of raisins .

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 a homer of barley, and a 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 any man's wife: so will I also be toward 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 king , and without prince, and without sacrifice , and without pillar, and without ephod or 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 Jehovah their God , and David their king , and shall come with fear unto Jehovah and to 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.
