1 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine. 2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: 3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee. 4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: 5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

1 耶和华对我说： "你再去爱一个妇人， 这妇人是为情人所爱， 又是个淫妇， 就像耶和华爱以色列人， 虽然他们转去跟随别神， 喜爱葡萄饼。"

2 于是， 我用一百七十一克银子， 一百五十公斤大麦， 买她回来归我。

3 我对她说： "你要给我独居多日， 不要行淫， 不要有别的男人， 我也必不与你同房。"

4 因为以色列人也要独居多日； 没有君王， 没有领袖， 没有祭祀， 没有柱像， 没有以弗得， 也没有家中的神像。

5 后来以色列人必归回， 寻求耶和华他们的 神， 寻求大卫他们的王。在末后的日子， 他们必战战兢兢来到耶和华那里， 接受他的恩惠。
