SayH559 you to your brothers,H251 Ammi;H5971 and to your sisters,H269 Ruhamah.H7355
2
PleadH7378 with your mother,H517 plead:H7378 for she is not my wife,H802 neitherH3808 am I her husband:H376 let her therefore putH5493 awayH5493 her prostitutionsH2183 out of her sight,H6440 and her adulteriesH5005 from betweenH996 her breasts;H7699
3
LestH6435 I stripH6584 her naked,H6174 and setH3322 her as in the dayH3117 that she was born,H3205 and makeH7760 her as a wilderness,H4057 and setH7896 her like a dryH6723 land,H776 and slayH4191 her with thirst.H6772
4
And I will not have mercyH7355 on her children;H1121 for they be the childrenH1121 of prostitutions.H2183
5
For their motherH517 has played the harlot:H2181 she that conceivedH2029 them has done shamefully:H3001 for she said,H559 I will goH3212 afterH310 my lovers,H157 that giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my water,H4325 my woolH6785 and my flax,H6593 my oilH8081 and my drink.H8250
6
Therefore,H3651 behold,H2005 I will hedgeH7753 up your wayH1870 with thorns,H5518 and makeH1443 a wall,H1447 that she shall not findH4672 her paths.H5410
7
And she shall followH7291 after her lovers,H157 but she shall not overtakeH5381 them; and she shall seekH1245 them, but shall not findH4672 them: then shall she say,H559 I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my firstH7223 husband;H376 for thenH227 was it betterH2896 with me than now.H6258
8
For she did not knowH3045 that I gaveH5414 her corn,H1715 and wine,H8492 and oil,H3323 and multipliedH7235 her silverH3701 and gold,H2091 which they preparedH6213 for Baal.H1168
9
ThereforeH3651 will I return,H7725 and takeH3947 away my cornH1715 in the timeH6256 thereof, and my wineH8492 in the seasonH4150 thereof, and will recoverH5337 my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593 given to coverH3680 her nakedness.H6172
10
And nowH6258 will I discoverH1540 her lewdnessH5040 in the sightH5869 of her lovers,H157 and noneH3808 shall deliverH5337 her out of my hand.H3027
11
I will also cause allH3605 her mirthH4885 to cease,H7673 her feastH2282 days, her newH2320 moons,H2320 and her sabbaths,H7676 and allH3605 her solemnH4150 feasts.H4150
12
And I will destroyH8074 her vinesH1612 and her figH8384 trees, whereofH834 she has said,H559 TheseH1992 are my rewardsH866 that my loversH157 have givenH5414 me: and I will makeH7760 them a forest,H3293 and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall eatH398 them.
13
And I will visitH6485 on her the daysH3117 of Baalim,H1168 whereinH834 she burnedH6999 incenseH6999 to them, and she deckedH5710 herself with her earringsH5141 and her jewels,H2484 and she wentH3212 afterH310 her lovers,H157 and forgotH7911 me, saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
14
Therefore,H3651 behold,H2009 I will allureH6601 her, and bringH1980 her into the wilderness,H4057 and speakH1696 comfortablyH5921 H3820 to her.
15
And I will giveH5414 her her vineyardsH3754 from there,H8033 and the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 for a doorH6607 of hope:H8615 and she shall singH6030 there,H8033 as in the daysH3117 of her youth,H5271 and as in the dayH3117 when she cameH5927 up out of the landH776 of Egypt.H4714
16
And it shall be at that day,H3117 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 that you shall callH7121 me Ishi;H376 and shall callH7121 me noH3808 moreH5750 Baali.H1180
17
For I will takeH5493 awayH5493 the namesH8034 of BaalimH1168 out of her mouth,H6310 and they shall noH3808 moreH5750 be rememberedH2142 by their name.H8034
18
And in that dayH3117 will I makeH3772 a covenantH1285 for them with the beastsH2416 of the field H7704and with the fowlsH5775 of heaven,H8064 and with the creepingH7431 things of the ground:H127 and I will breakH7665 the bowH7198 and the swordH2719 and the battleH4421 out of the earth,H776 and will make them to lieH7901 downH7901 safely.H983
19
And I will betrothH781 you to me for ever;H5769 yes, I will betrothH781 you to me in righteousness,H6664 and in judgment,H4941 and in loving kindness,H2617 and in mercies.H7356
20
I will even betrothH781 you to me in faithfulness:H530 and you shall knowH3045 the LORD.H3068
21
And it shall comeH1961 to pass in that day,H3117 I will hear,H6030 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 I will hearH6030 the heavens,H8064 and they shall hearH6030 the earth;H776
22
And the earthH776 shall hearH6030 the corn,H1715 and the wine,H8492 and the oil;H3323 and they shall hearH6030 Jezreel.H3157
23
And I will sowH2232 her to me in the earth;H776 and I will have mercyH7355 on her that had not obtainedH5375 mercy;H7355 and I will sayH559 to them which were not my people,H5971 You are my people;H5971 and they shall say,H559 You are my God.H430
