Hosea 2:14 In-Context
12
I will ruin her vines and her fig trees, which she said were her pay from her lovers; I will make them a thicket, and wild animals will devour them.
13

14
“Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.
15
There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
16
