Israel’s Unfaithfulness Punished
2Say to your brothers, "You are my people," and to your sisters, "You have received mercy."H5592"Plead with your mother, plead— for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband— that she put away her whoring from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts;H7378H517H7378H802H376H5493H2183H6440H5005H7699
3lest I strip her naked and make her as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and make her like a parched land, and kill her with thirst.H6584H6174H3322H3117H3205H7760H4057H7896H6723H776H4191H6772
4Upon her children also I will have no mercy, because they are children of whoredom.H7355H1121H1121H2183
5For their mother has played the whore; she who conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'H517H2181H2029H3001H559H3212H310H157H5414H3899H4325H6785H6593H8081H8250
6Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, so that she cannot find her paths.H7753H1870H5518H1443H1447H4672H5410
7She shall pursue her lovers but not overtake them, and she shall seek them but shall not find them. Then she shall say, 'I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better for me then than now.'H7291H157H5381H1245H4672H559H3212H7725H7223H376H2896H6258
8And she did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who lavished on her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.H3045H5414H1715H8492H3323H7235H3701H2091H6213H1168
9Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my wine in its season, and I will take away my wool and my flax, which were to cover her nakedness.H7725H3947H1715H6256H8492H4150H5337H6785H6593H3680H6172
10Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.H1540H5040H5869H157H376H5337H3027
11And I will put an end to all her mirth, her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her appointed feasts.H4885H7673H2282H2320H7676H4150
12And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, 'These are my wages, which my lovers have given me.' I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour them.H8074H1612H8384H559H866H157H5414H7760H3293H2416H7704H398
13And I will punish her for the feast days of the Baals when she burned offerings to them and adorned herself with her ring and jewelry, and went after her lovers and forgot me, declares the LORD.H6485H3117H1168H6999H5710H5141H2484H3212H310H157H7911H5002H3068 H3212H4057H1696H3820
The Lord’s Mercy on Israel
14"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.H660115And there I will give her her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.H5414H3754H6010H5911H6607H8615H6030H3117H5271H3117H5927H776H4714
16"And in that day, declares the LORD, you will call me 'My Husband,' and no longer will you call me 'My Baal.'H3117H5002H3068H7121H376H7121H1180
17For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more.H5493H8034H1168H6310H2142H8034
18And I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground. And I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land, and I will make you lie down in safety.H3117H3772H1285H2416H7704H5775H8064H7431H127H7665H7198H2719H4421H776H7901H983 
19And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy.H781H5769H781H6664H4941H2617H7356
20I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the LORD.H781H530H3045H3068
21"And in that day I will answer, declares the LORD, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth,H3117H6030H5002H3068H6030H8064H6030H776 
New Testament
22and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel,H776H6030H1715H8492H3323H6030H3157
23and I will sow her for myself in the land. And I will have mercy on No Mercy, and I will say to Not My People, 'You are my people'; and he shall say, 'You are my God.'"H2232H776H7355H7355H3818H559H5971H5971H559H430
