I just used a readily available concordance. There are other similar passages, and I am not a Hebrew scholar to decide among translations. Anyway, there is much more that has been discussed on the matter, and I am sorry you were not around for it. I will not repeat the whole thing, although if you have an original point, I will, of course, address it. I am now going to see if I can find a good Internet concordance for the NAB, and get back to you......

This is from the New American Bible.It addresses both the issue of finding a place where God saves He loves any person(s), and also His willingness to put up with waywardness:

Hosea
Chapter 3

1
1 2 Again the LORD said to me: Give your love to a woman beloved of a paramour, an adultress; Even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and are fond of raisin cakes.
2
3 So I bought her for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.
3
Then I said to her: "Many days you shall wait for me; you shall not play the harlot Or belong to any man; I in turn will wait for you."
4
4 For the people of Israel shall remain many days without king or prince, Without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or household idols.
5
5 Then the people of Israel shall turn back and seek the LORD, their God, and David, their king; They shall come trembling to the LORD and to his bounty, in the last days.
1
6 The number of the Israelites shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor counted. Whereas they were called, "Lo-ammi," They shall be called, "Children of the living God."
2
Then the people of Judah and of Israel shall be gathered together; They shall appoint for themselves one head and come up from other lands, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
3
Say to your brothers, "Ammi," and to your sisters, "Ruhama."
