Then said
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

unto me, Go
<03212> (8798)

yet, love
<0157> (8798)

a woman
<0802>

beloved
<0157> (8803)

of [her] friend
<07453>_,

yet an adulteress
<05003> (8764)_,

according to the love
<0160>

of the LORD
<03068>

toward the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

who look
<06437> (8802)

to other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and love
<0157> (8802)

flagons
<0809>

of wine
<06025>_.

{of wine: Heb. of grapes}

3:2

So I bought
<03739> (8799)

her to me for fifteen
<06240> <02568>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,

and [for] an homer
<02563>

of barley
<08184>_,

and an half homer
<03963>

of barley
<08184>_:

{half...: Heb. lethech}

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Thou shalt abide
<03427> (8799)

for me many
<07227>

days
<03117>_;

thou shalt not play the harlot
<02181> (8799)_,

and thou shalt not be
<01961> (8799)

for [another] man
<0376>_:

so [will] I also [be] for thee.

3:4

For the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

shall abide
<03427> (8799)

many
<07227>

days
<03117>

without a king
<04428>_,

and without a prince
<08269>_,

and without a sacrifice
<02077>_,

and without an image
<04676>_,

and without an ephod
<0646>_,

and [without] teraphim
<08655>_:

{image: Heb. a standing, or, statue, or, pillar}
