Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
13 I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says Yahweh.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her.
15 I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 It shall be at that day, says Yahweh, that you shall call me Ishi, and shall call me no more Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
18 In that day will I make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 I will betroth you to me forever; yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
