2 Compréla entonces para mí por quince [dineros] de plata, y un homer y medio de cebada;

3 Y díjele: Tú estarás por mía muchos días: no fornicarás, ni tomarás [otro] varón; ni tampoco yo [vendré] á ti.

4 Porque muchos días estarán los hijos de Israel sin rey, y sin príncipe, y sin sacrificio, y sin estatua, y sin ephod, y sin teraphim.

5 Después volverán los hijos de Israel, y buscarán á Jehová su Dios, y á David su rey; y temerán á Jehová y á su bondad en el fin de los días.
