3:1 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。」
3:2 我便用銀子十五舍客勒,大麥一賀梅珥半,買她歸我。
3:3 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。」
3:4 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。
3:5 後來以色列人必歸回(或譯:回心轉意),尋求他們的上帝─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。
1 And the Lord said to me, "Go again,
love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the Lord
loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of
raisins." 2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and
a lethech of barley. 3 And I said to her, "You must dwell as mine for many
days. You shall not play the whore, or belong to another man; so will I also be
to you." 4 For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king
or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or household gods. 5
Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God, and
David their king, and they shall come in fear to the Lord and to his goodness
in the latter days.

上帝在此要先知藉由「行動劇」的方式,來須講祂的信息,讓我們看見上帝要再一次接納以色列,雖然他們過去是背離上帝的。
其實不只是以色列,只要人願意接受耶穌基督的救恩,就可以回到上帝的家,成為上帝的兒女。
讓我們為此恩典感謝上帝,透過這恩典,我們可以享受永生無限,感謝上帝!
