Osea 3

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Adhuc vade, dilige mulierem dilectam amico etadulteram, sicut diligit Dominus filios Israel, et ipsi respectant ad deosalienos et diligunt placentas uvarum ”.	1 And the Lord said to me: Go yet again, and love a woman beloved of her friend, and an adulteress : as the Lord loveth the children of Israel, and they look to strange gods, and love the husks of the grapes.
2 Et emi eam mihi quindecim argenteis et choro hordei et dimidio choro hordei.	2 And I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a core of barley, and for half a core of barley.
3 Et dixi ad eam: “ Dies multos exspectabis me; non fornicaberis et non erisviro, neque ibo ego ad te ”.	3 And I said to her: Thou shalt wait for me many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt be no man's, and I also will wait for thee.
4 Quia dies multos sedebunt filii Israel sinerege et sine principe et sine sacrificio et sine lapide et sine ephod et sinetheraphim.	4 For the children of Israel shall sit many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without ephod, and without theraphim.
5 Et post haec revertentur filii Israel et quaerent Dominum Deum suumet David regem suum et pavebunt ad Dominum et ad bonum eius in fine dierum.	5 And after this the children of Israel shall return, and shall seek the Lord their God, and David their king: and they shall fear the Lord, and his goodness in the last days.
