2 So I acquired her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley. 3 Then I said to her: “You will wait for me for many days; you will not prostitute yourself Or belong to any man; I in turn will wait for you.” 4 For the Israelites will remain many days without king or prince, Without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or household gods. 5 Afterward the Israelites will turn back and seek the LORD, their God, and David, their king; They will come trembling to the LORD and to his bounty, in the last days.
