Israel’s Unfaithfulness Condemned

2Say to your brothers, "Ammi," and to your sisters, "Ruhamah."H559H251H5971H269H7355 2"Contend with your mother, contend, For she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; And let her put away her harlotry from her face, And her adultery from between her breasts,H7378H517H7378H802H376H5493H2183H6440H5005H7699 3Lest I strip her naked And expose her as on the day when she was born. I will also make her like a wilderness, Make her like desert land, And slay her with thirst.H6584H6174H3322H3117H3205H7760H4057H7896H6723H776H4191H6772 4"Also, I will have no compassion on her children, Because they are children of harlotry.H7355H1121H1121H2183 5"For their mother has played the harlot; 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 6"Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths.H7753H1870H5518H1443H1447H4672H5410 7"And she will pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; And she will seek them, but will not find [them.] Then she will say, 'I will go back to my first husband, For it was better for me then than now!'H7291H157H5381H1245H4672H559H3212H7725H7223H376H2896H6258 8"For she does not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, And lavished on her silver and gold, [Which] they used for Baal.H3045H5414H1715H8492H3323H7235H3701H2091H6213H1168 9"Therefore, I will take back My grain at harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax [Given] to cover her nakedness.H7725H3947H1715H6256H8492H4150H5337H6785H6593H3680H6172 10"And then I will uncover her lewdness In the sight of her lovers, And no one will rescue her out of My hand.H1540H5040H5869H157H376H5337H3027 11"I will also put an end to all her gaiety, Her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths, And all her festal assemblies.H4885H7673H2282H2320H7676H4150 12"And I will destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, 'These are my wages Which my lovers have given me.' And I will make them a forest, And the beasts of the field will devour them.H8074H1612H8384H559H866H157H5414H7760H3293H2416H7704H398 13"And I will punish her for the days of the Baals When she used to offer sacrifices to them And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me," declares the LORD.H6485H3117H1168H6999H5710H5141H2484H3212H310H157H7911H5002H3068

Restoration of Israel

14"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, Bring her into the wilderness, And speak kindly to her.H6601H3212H4057H1696H3820 15"Then I will give her her vineyards from there, And the valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.H5414H3754H6010H5911H6607H8615H6030H3117H5271H3117H5927H776H4714 16"And it will come about in that day," declares the LORD, "That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali.H3117H5002H3068H7121H376H7121H1180 17"For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will be mentioned by their names no more.H5493H8034H1168H6310H2142H8034 18"In that day I will also make a covenant for them With the beasts of the field, The birds of the sky, And the creeping things of the ground. And I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land, And will make them lie down in safety.H3117H3772H1285H2416H7704H5775H8064H7431H127H7665H7198H2719H4421H776H7901H983 19"And I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion,H781H5769H781H6664H4941H2617H7356 20And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the LORD.H781H530H3045H3068 21"And it will come about in that day that I will respond," declares the LORD. I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth,H3117H6030H5002H3068H6030H8064H6030H776 22And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine, and to the oil, And they will respond to Jezreel.H776H6030H1715H8492H3323H6030H3157 23"And I will sow her for Myself in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion, And I will say to those who were not My people, 'You are My people!' And they will say, '[Thou art] my God!'"H2232H776H7355H7355H3818H559H5971H5971H559H430
