31 Then the Lord said to me, "Go again , love a woman who is loved by her husband , yet an adulteress , even as the Lord loves the sons of Israel , though they turn to other gods and love raisin e cakes ." 2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen e shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley . 3 Then I said to her, "You shall stay with me for many days . You shall not play the harlot , nor shall you have a man ; so I will also be toward you." 4 For the sons of Israel will remain for many days without king or prince , without sacrifice or sacred pillar and without ephod or household idols . 5 Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king ; and they will come trembling to the Lord and to His goodness in the last days .
