Hosea 3:1-3 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Then the Lord said to me, “Go, again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just as the Lord loves the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love raisin cakes.”

2. So I purchased her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and for a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley.

3. Then I said to her, “You will remain with me many days. You will not play the whore, and you will not belong to another man. And also I will be with you.”
