1 # Say <0559> (8798) ye unto your brethren <0251>, Ammi <05971>; and to your sisters <0269>, Ruhamah <07355> (8795).
2 Plead <07378> (8798) with your mother <0517>, plead <07378> (8798): for she is not my wife <0802> , neither am I her husband <0376>: let her therefore put away <05493> (8686) her whoredoms <02183> out of her sight <06440> , and her adulteries <05005> from between her breasts <07699>;
3 Lest I strip <06584> (8686) her naked <06174>, and set <03322> (8689) her as in the day <03117> that she was born <03205> (8736), and make <07760> (8804) her as a wilderness <04057>, and set <07896> (8804) her like a dry <06723> land <0776>, and slay <04191> (8689) her with thirst <06772>.
4 And I will not have mercy <07355> (8762) upon her children <01121>; for they be the children <01121> of whoredoms <02183>.
5 For their mother <0517> hath played the harlot <02181> (8804): she that conceived <02029> (8802) them hath done shamefully <03001> (8689): for she said <0559> (8804), I will go <03212> (8799) after <0310> my lovers <0157> (8764), that give <05414> (8802) me my bread <03899> and my water <04325>, my wool <06785> and my flax <06593>, mine oil <08081> and my drink <08250>.
6 # Therefore, behold, I will hedge <07753> (8801) up thy way <01870> with thorns <05518>, and make <01443> (8804) a wall <01447>, that she shall not find <04672> (8799) her paths <05410>.
7 And she shall follow <07291> (8765) after her lovers <0157> (8764), but she shall not overtake <05381> (8686) them; and she shall seek <01245> (8765) them, but shall not find <04672> (8799) them: then shall she say <0559> (8804), I will go <03212> (8799) and return <07725> (8799) to my first <07223> husband <0376>; for then was it better <02896> with me than now <06258>.
8 For she did not know <03045> (8804) that I gave <05414> (8804) her corn <01715>, and wine <08492> , and oil <03323>, and multiplied <07235> (8689) her silver <03701> and gold <02091>, which they prepared <06213> (8804) for Baal <01168>.
9 Therefore will I return <07725> (8799), and take away <03947> (8804) my corn <01715> in the time <06256> thereof, and my wine <08492> in the season <04150> thereof, and will recover <05337> (8689) my wool <06785> and my flax <06593> given to cover <03680> (8763) her nakedness <06172>.
10 And now will I discover <01540> (8762) her lewdness <05040> in the sight <05869> of her lovers <0157> (8764), and none <0376> shall deliver <05337> (8686) her out of mine hand <03027>.
11 I will also cause all her mirth <04885> to cease <07673> (8689), her feast days <02282>, her new moons <02320> , and her sabbaths <07676>, and all her solemn feasts <04150>.
12 And I will destroy <08074> (8689) her vines <01612> and her fig trees <08384>, whereof she hath said <0559> (8804), These are my rewards <0866> that my lovers <0157> (8764) have given <05414> (8804) me: and I will make <07760> (8804) them a forest <03293>, and the beasts <02416> of the field <07704> shall eat <0398> (8804) them.
13 And I will visit <06485> (8804) upon her the days <03117> of Baalim <01168>, wherein she burned incense <06999> (8686) to them, and she decked <05710> (8799) herself with her earrings <05141> and her jewels <02484>, and she went <03212> (8799) after <0310> her lovers <0157> (8764), and forgat <07911> (8804) me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
14 # Therefore, behold, I will allure <06601> (8764) her, and bring <03212> (8689) her into the wilderness <04057> , and speak <01696> (8765) comfortably <03820> unto her.
15 And I will give <05414> (8804) her her vineyards <03754> from thence, and the valley <06010> of Achor <05911> for a door <06607> of hope <08615>: and she shall sing <06030> (8804) there, as in the days <03117> of her youth <05271>, and as in the day <03117> when she came up <05927> (8800) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
16 And it shall be at that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that thou shalt call <07121> (8799) me Ishi <0376>; and shalt call <07121> (8799) me no more Baali <01180>.
17 For I will take away <05493> (8689) the names <08034> of Baalim <01168> out of her mouth <06310>, and they shall no more be remembered <02142> (8735) by their name <08034>.
18 And in that day <03117> will I make <03772> (8804) a covenant <01285> for them with the beasts <02416> of the field <07704>, and with the fowls <05775> of heaven <08064>, and with the creeping things <07431> of the ground <0127>: and I will break <07665> (8799) the bow <07198> and the sword <02719> and the battle <04421> out of the earth <0776>, and will make them to lie down <07901> (8689) safely <0983>.
19 And I will betroth <0781> (8765) thee unto me for ever <05769>; yea, I will betroth <0781> (8765) thee unto me in righteousness <06664>, and in judgment <04941>, and in lovingkindness <02617>, and in mercies <07356>.
20 I will even betroth <0781> (8765) thee unto me in faithfulness <0530>: and thou shalt know <03045> (8804) the LORD <03068>.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>, I will hear <06030> (8799), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, I will hear <06030> (8799) the heavens <08064>, and they shall hear <06030> (8799) the earth <0776>;
22 And the earth <0776> shall hear <06030> (8799) the corn <01715>, and the wine <08492>, and the oil <03323> ; and they shall hear <06030> (8799) Jezreel <03157>.
23 And I will sow <02232> (8804) her unto me in the earth <0776>; and I will have mercy <07355> (8765) upon her that had not obtained mercy <07355> (8795) (8677) <03818>; and I will say <0559> (8804) to them which were not my people <05971>, Thou art my people <05971>; and they shall say <0559> (8799), Thou art my God <0430>.
