2Call your brothers: My People and your sisters: Compassion.H559H251H5971H269H7355

Israel’s Adultery Rebuked

2Rebuke your mother; rebuke [her]. For she is not My wife and I am not her husband. Let her remove the promiscuous look from her face and her adultery from between her breasts.H7378H517H7378H802H376H5493H2183H6440H5005H7699
3Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her as she was on the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and like a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.H6584H6174H3322H3117H3205H7760H4057H7896H6723H776H4191H6772
4I will have no compassion on her children because they are the children of promiscuity.H7355H1121H1121H2183
5For their mother is promiscuous; she conceived them and acted shamefully. For she thought: I will go after my lovers, the men who give me my food and water, my wool and flax, my oil and drink.H517H2181H2029H3001H559H3212H310H157H5414H3899H4325H6785H6593H8081H8250
6Therefore, this is what I will do: I will block her way with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so that she cannot find her paths.H7753H1870H5518H1443H1447H4672H5410
7She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find [them]. Then she will think: I will go back to my former husband, for then it was better for me than now.H7291H157H5381H1245H4672H559H3212H7725H7223H376H2896H6258
8She does not recognize that it is I who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil. I lavished silver and gold on her, which they used for Baal.H3045H5414H1715H8492H3323H7235H3701H2091H6213H1168
9Therefore, I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were to cover her nakedness.H7725H3947H1715H6256H8492H4150H5337H6785H6593H3680H6172
10Now I will expose her shame in the sight of her lovers, and no one will rescue her from My hands.H1540H5040H5869H157H376H5337H3027
11I will put an end to all her celebrations: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths— all her festivals.H4885H7673H2282H2320H7676H4150
12I will devastate her vines and fig trees. She thinks that these are her wages that her lovers have given her. I will turn them into a thicket, and the wild animals will eat them.H8074H1612H8384H559H866H157H5414H7760H3293H2416H7704H398
13And I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, put on her rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, but forgot Me. [This is] the LORD's declaration.H6485H3117H1168H6999H5710H5141H2484H3212H310H157H7911H5002H3068

Israel’s Adultery Forgiven

14Therefore, I am going to persuade her, lead her to the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.H6601H3212H4057H1696H3820
15There I will give her vineyards back to her and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as [she did] in the days of her youth, as in the day she came out of the land of Egypt.H5414H3754H6010H5911H6607H8615H6030H3117H5271H3117H5927H776H4714
16In that day— the LORD's declaration— you will call [Me]: My husband, and no longer call Me: My Baal.H3117H5002H3068H7121H376H7121H1180
17For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth; they will no longer be remembered by their names.H5493H8034H1168H6310H2142H8034
18On that day I will make a covenant for them with the wild animals, the birds of the sky, and the creatures that crawl on the ground. I will shatter bow, sword, and weapons of war in the land and will enable the people to rest securely.H3117H3772H1285H2416H7704H5775H8064H7431H127H7665H7198H2719H4421H776H7901H983
19I will take you to be My wife forever. I will take you to be My wife in righteousness, justice, love, and compassion.H781H5769H781H6664H4941H2617H7356
20I will take you to be My wife in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.H781H530H3045H3068
21On that day I will respond— the LORD's declaration. I will respond to the sky, and it will respond to the earth.H3117H6030H5002H3068H6030H8064H6030H776
22The earth will respond to the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.H776H6030H1715H8492H3323H6030H3157
23I will sow her in the land for Myself, and I will have compassion on No Compassion; I will say to Not My People: You are My people, and he will say: [You are] My God.H2232H776H7355H7355H3818H559H5971H5971H559H430
