Hosea 3 opens with these words: “Yahweh said to me, “Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress, even as Yahweh loves the children of Israel, though they…” The line to keep is Hosea 3:5: “Afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek Yahweh their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to Yahweh and to his blessings…” Carry the word “afterward” from that verse into the rest of the day.
