* "
Therefore ,
behold ,
I will allure her ,
and bring her into the wilderness ,
and speak tenderly to her .
*
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 .
* "
And in that day ,
says the LORD ,
you will call me , `
My husband ,'
and no longer will you call me , `
My Ba '
al .'
*
For I will remove the names of the Ba '
als from her mouth ,
and they shall be mentioned by name no more .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
I will betroth you to me in faithfulness ;
and you shall know the LORD .
* "
And in that day ,
says the LORD ,
I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth ;
*
and the earth shall answer the grain ,
the wine ,
and the oil ,
and they shall answer Jezreel ;
*
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 `
Thou art my God .'"
