Hosea 3:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ Then I said to her, “You shall ^(A)stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a ^[a]man; so I will also be toward you.” ⁴ For the sons of Israel will remain for many days ^(B)without king or prince, ^(C)without sacrifice or sacred ^(D)pillar and without ^(E)ephod or ^[b](F)household idols. ⁵ Afterward the sons of Israel will ^(G)return and seek the Lord their God and ^(H)David their king; and ^(I)they will come trembling to the Lord and to His goodness in the last days.
