Hosea 2:14-23
New International Version
14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the wilderness(A)
and speak tenderly to her.
15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor[a](B) a door of hope.
There she will respond[b](C) as in the days of her youth,(D)
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.(E)
16 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“you will call me ‘my husband’;(F)
you will no longer call me ‘my master.[c]’
17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips;(G)
no longer will their names be invoked.(H)
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them
with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the creatures that move along the ground.(I)
Bow and sword and battle
I will abolish(J) from the land,
so that all may lie down in safety.(K)
19 I will betroth(L) you to me forever;
I will betroth you in[d] righteousness and justice,(M)
in[e] love and compassion.(N)
20 I will betroth you in[f] faithfulness,
and you will acknowledge(O) the Lord.(P)
21 “In that day I will respond,”
declares the Lord—
“I will respond(Q) to the skies,
and they will respond to the earth;
22 and the earth will respond to the grain,
the new wine and the olive oil,(R)
and they will respond to Jezreel.[g](S)
23 I will plant(T) her for myself in the land;
I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.[h](U)’
I will say to those called ‘Not my people,[i]’ ‘You are my people’;(V)
and they will say, ‘You are my God.(W)’”
