katapi HOME Hosea 2:14-23 - The LORD's love for his children.  Hs.2.14-23

2 14 "Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.
2 15 And 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. 2 16 "And in that day, says Yahweh, you will call me, 'My husband,' and no longer will you call me, 'My Baal.' 2 17 For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more. 2 18 And I will make for you a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, 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. 2 19 And I will betroth you to me for ever; I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. 2 20 I will betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahweh. 2 21 "And in that day, says Yahweh,
I will answer the heavens
and they shall answer the earth;
2 22 and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and they shall answer Jezreel;
2 23 and I will sow him for myself in the land.
And I will have pity on Not pitied,
and I will say to Not my people, 'You are my people';
and he shall say 'You are my God.' "
