Israel shall seek the Lord, return to the Lord, and receive of his goodness in the latter days.

 THEN said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an ^aadulteress^•, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love ^bflagons^• of wine.

 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:

 And I said unto 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.

 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:

 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and ^aseek^• the LORD their God, and ^bDavid^• their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the ^clatter^• days.
