And I said to her,
    You must remain as mine[a] for many days,
        and you will not play the whore;
you will not belong[b] to a man,
    and I will belong to you.”
The children of Israel will remain for many days
    without a king and prince,
    without sacrifice and stone pillar, ephod and teraphim.

    and seek Yahweh their God and David their king.
They will come in fear to Yahweh
    and to his goodness at the end of days.
