Hosea 3:3-5

New Catholic Bible

“You must remain in my house for a long time,
    and you shall not continue to play the harlot.
You shall not have relations with anyone else,
    nor even with me.”
⁴ For the Israelites shall spend a long time
    without a king or leader,
without sacrifice or sacred pillar,
    without ephod or household idols.
⁵ Afterward the Israelites shall return
    and seek the Lord, their God,
    and David, their king.^[a]
They will come trembling to the Lord
    to beg for his bounty in the final days.
