何西阿和不贞的妇人
耶和华又对我说：“你去爱那情人所爱却犯奸淫的妇人，正如耶和华爱那偏向别神、喜爱葡萄饼☛“葡萄饼”是祭祀神明用的。的以色列人。”
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于是我用十五舍客勒银子和一贺梅珥半大麦买她归我。So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
3我对她说：“你当多日与我同住，不可行淫，不可归与别人，我对你也一样。”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因为以色列人必多日过着无君王，无领袖，无祭祀，无柱像，无以弗得，无家中神像的生活。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后来以色列人必归回☛“归回”或译“回转”。，寻求耶和华─他们的神和他们的王大卫。在末后的日子，他们必敬畏耶和华，领受他的恩惠。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.
