Hosea 3:1-2
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
3 Then said the Lord to me, Go again, love [the same] woman [Gomer] who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins [used in the sacrificial feasts in idol worship].
2 So I bought her for [a]fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley [the price of a slave].
