Hosea Chapter 3 (CHIUN)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 耶和華 對我 說:「你再 去 愛 一個淫 婦,就是她情人 所愛的;好像 以色列 人,雖然偏 向 別 神,喜愛 葡萄 餅,耶和華 還是愛 他們。」

2 我便用銀子 十 五舍客勒,大麥 一賀梅珥 半,買她 歸我。

3 我對她 說:「你當多 日 為我 獨居,不可 行淫,不可 歸別人 為妻,我 向你 也必這樣。」

4 以色列 人 也必多 日 獨居,無 君王,無 首領,無 祭祀,無 柱像,無 以弗得,無家中的神像。

5 後來 以色列 人 必歸回(或譯:回心轉意),尋求他們的 神─耶和華 和 他們的王 大衛。在末後 的日子,必以敬畏的心 歸向 耶和華,領受 他的恩惠。

What condition does Hosea set for her in verse 3?
He tells 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" - a period of restraint before restoration.
What does the chapter predict for Israel's future?
Verses 4-5 say Israel will go "many days" without king, prince, sacrifice, or idols, and afterward will "return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king" - a turning point similar to the return described in Jeremiah 50:4-5.
