1 Then|strong="H0853" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" me|strong="H0413" again|strong="H5750", “Gomer has|strong="H3068" many lovers|strong="H0157", but|strong="H1992" you|strong="H0853" must|strong="H0853" continue|strong="H5750" loving|strong="H0157" her|strong="H0413". Do this|strong="H3068" because|strong="H0413" it|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" an|strong="H0559" example of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" LORD’S|strong="H3068" love|strong="H0157" for|strong="H0413" Israel|strong="H3478". He|strong="H0430" continues to|strong="H0413" love|strong="H0157" them|strong="H0413", but|strong="H1992" they|strong="H1992" continue|strong="H5750" to|strong="H0413" turn|strong="H6437" to|strong="H0413" other|strong="H0312" gods|strong="H0430", and|strong="H1121" they|strong="H1992" love|strong="H0157" to|strong="H0413" eat those|strong="H1992" raisin|strong="H0809" cakes|strong="H0809".”
2 So I bought|strong="H3739" Gomer back for|strong="H3701" 6 ounces of|strong="H3701" silver|strong="H3701" and|strong="H3701" 9 bushels of|strong="H3701" barley|strong="H8184".
3 Then|strong="H1961" I|strong="H0589" told|strong="H0559" her|strong="H0413", “You|strong="H3117" must|strong="H1571" stay|strong="H3427" at|strong="H0413" home with|strong="H0413" me|strong="H0413" for|strong="H0413" many|strong="H7227" days|strong="H3117". You|strong="H3117" will|strong="H1961" not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H1961" like|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" prostitute|strong="H2181". You|strong="H3117" will|strong="H1961" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H1961" sexual relations|strong="H0413" with|strong="H0413" another|strong="H0376" man|strong="H0376". I|strong="H0589" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" your|strong="H1961" husband|strong="H0376".”
4 In|strong="H3427" the|strong="H3588" same way the|strong="H3588" people|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" will|strong="H4428" continue many|strong="H7227" days|strong="H3117" without|strong="H0369" a|strong="H3588" king|strong="H4428" or|strong="H0369" a|strong="H3588" leader|strong="H8269". They|strong="H3588" will|strong="H4428" be|strong="H1121" without|strong="H0369" a|strong="H3588" sacrifice|strong="H2077" or|strong="H0369" a|strong="H3588" memorial stone. They|strong="H3588" will|strong="H4428" be|strong="H1121" without|strong="H0369" an|strong="H3588" ephod|strong="H0646" or|strong="H0369" a|strong="H3588" household|strong="H8655" god|strong="H0369".
5 After|strong="H0310" this|strong="H3068", the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" will|strong="H3068" come|strong="H7725" back|strong="H7725" and|strong="H1121" look|strong="H1245" for|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" their|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" and|strong="H1121" for|strong="H0413" David|strong="H1732" their|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4428". In|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" last|strong="H0319" days|strong="H3117" they|strong="H3117" will|strong="H3068" come|strong="H7725" to|strong="H0413" honor the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" and|strong="H1121" his|strong="H3068" goodness|strong="H2898".
