Hosea Redeems His Wife
(Zechariah 2:6–13)
Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another 1and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and offer raisin cakes to idols. 2” Jer 3:12-14Hos 1:2-3Isa 45:22Jer 31:20Mic 7:18-20Deu 7:6-7Hos 11:8Luk 1:54-55
So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver 3and a homer and a lethech of barley. 4 Gen 34:12Ezk 45:11Lev 27:161Sa 18:25Exo 22:17Gen 31:41Isa 5:10 Then I said to her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be promiscuous or belong to another, and I will do the same for you.” Deu 21:13
For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or idol. Jdg 17:52Ch 15:2Gen 31:191Sa 23:9Dan 12:11Dan 9:27Exo 28:4Heb 10:26 Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days. Jer 30:9Jer 50:4-5Ezk 34:23-24Isa 2:2Ezk 37:22-25Rom 2:4Isa 55:3-4Psa 130:3-4
