14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
|
14 "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her.
|
|
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
|
15 There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will sing as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
|
|
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
|
16 "In that day," declares the LORD, "you will call me 'my husband'; you will no longer call me 'my master. '
|
|
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
|
17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips; no longer will their names be invoked.
|
|
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
|
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety.
|
|
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
|
19 I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.
|
|
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
|
20 I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD.
|
|
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear , saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
|
21 "In that day I will respond," declares the LORD-- "I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth;
|
|
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
|
22 and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
|
|
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy ; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say , Thou art my God.
|
23 I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one.' I will say to those called 'Not my people, ' 'You are my people'; and they will say, 'You are my God.' "
