Hosea 3:3-4

3:3 Then I told her, “You must live with me many days; you must not commit adultery or have sexual intercourse with ¹  another man, and I also will wait for you.” 3:4 For the Israelites ²  must live many days without a king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred fertility pillar, without ephod or idols.

[3:3]  ¹ tn Heb “and you will not be for”; NIV “be intimate with.”

[3:4]  ² tn Heb “sons of Israel” (so NASB); KJV “children of Israel”; NAB “people of Israel” (likewise in the following verse).
