“
Say of
your brothers,
‘My
people
, ’
and of
your sisters, ‘My
loved
one
. ’
Say ye
unto
your brethren
, Ammi;
and to
your sisters, Ruhamah
.
Rebuke
your mother, rebuke
her,
for she is not My wife, and
I
am not
her husband .
Let her remove
the
adultery
from her face and the
unfaithfulness
from between her breasts .
Contend
with
your mother, contend;
for she is not my wife, neither
am I
her husband ;
and
let her put
away
her
whoredoms
from her face ,
and her
adulteries
from between her breasts ;
Otherwise,
I will
strip her naked and expose
her like
the day of
her
birth.
I
will
make her like
a desert
and turn
her into
a parched
land, and I
will
let
her die
of
thirst.
lest
I strip her naked ,
and set
her as
in
the day that
she
was
born,
and
make her as
a wilderness,
and set
her like
a dry
land, and slay
her with
thirst.
I
will have no compassion
on
her
children,
because
they are the
children of adultery.
Yea,
upon
her
children
will I
have no mercy;
for
they are children of whoredom;
For their mother has
played the harlot and
has
conceived them in
disgrace.
For she thought
, ‘
I will go after my lovers, who
give me bread and water, wool and linen
, oil and drink. ’
for their mother hath
played the harlot ;
she
that
conceived them hath
done
shamefully;
for she said
, I will go after my lovers, that
give me my
bread and my
water, my
wool and my
flax
, mine
oil and my
drink.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her
path
with thorns ;
I will enclose
her
with
a wall, so
she cannot
find her way
.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy
way
with thorns ,
and
I will build
a wall against
her
, that
she shall
not
find her paths
.
She will
pursue
her lovers but not catch
them; she will
seek them but not find them .
Then she will
say, ‘
I will return to my first husband ,
for then I
was better off
than now. ’
And
she shall
follow
after
her lovers ,
but she
shall
not overtake
them; and
she shall
seek them ,
but shall
not find them :
then shall
she say, I will go
and
return to my first husband ;
for then was it
better with
me
than now.
For she does
not acknowledge
that it
was
I who
gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who
lavished
on
her silver and gold —
which they crafted
for Baal.
For she did
not know
that I gave her the
grain, and
the
new wine, and the
oil, and
multiplied
unto
her silver and gold ,
which they used
for Baal.
Therefore I
will take back My grain in its
time and My new wine in its
season ;
I
will take
away My wool and linen,
which were
given
to
cover
her nakedness.
Therefore will I
take back my grain in the
time thereof,
and my new wine in the
season thereof,
and
will pluck
away my wool and my
flax
which should
have
covered
her nakedness.
And then
I
will expose
her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no
one
will
deliver her out of My hands
.
And now
will I
uncover
her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none
shall
deliver her out of my hand
.
I will put
an
end
to
all her exultation:
her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths —
all her appointed
feasts
.
I will also
cause
all her mirth
to
cease,
her feasts, her
new moons, and her
sabbaths ,
and
all her solemn
assemblies
.
I will destroy
her vines and fig trees, which
she thinks
are the
wages
paid
by
her
lovers .
So
I will make them into
a thicket
, and the beasts of the field will
devour
them.
And
I will lay
waste
her vines and her
fig -
trees, whereof
she hath
said,
These
are my
hire
that
my
lovers have
given
me;
and
I will make them a forest
, and the beasts of the field shall
eat
them.
I will punish
her for
the days of the Baals
when
she burned incense to
them
, when she decked herself with rings
and jewelry
, and went after her lovers .
But
Me she
forgot
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
And
I will visit
upon
her the days of the Baalim,
unto
which
she burned incense, when she decked herself with her
earrings
and her
jewels
, and went after her lovers ,
and
forgat
me, saith
Jehovah
.
“
Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead
her to
the wilderness, and speak to
her tenderly
.
Therefore, behold, I will allure her ,
and bring
her into
the wilderness, and speak comfortably
unto
her.
There
I will give back
her vineyards and make
the Valley of Achor into
a gateway
of hope .
There
she will
respond
as she
did
in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
And
I will give her her
vineyards from
thence,
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.
In
that day, ”
declares
the
LORD
, “you
will
call Me ‘my
Husband
, ’
and no
longer
call Me ‘my
Master
. ’
And
it
shall
be
at
that day, saith
Jehovah
, that
thou
shalt
call me Ishi
, and shalt
call me no
more
Baali
.
For I will remove
from
her
lips
the names of the Baals;
no longer
will
their
names
be invoked
.
For I will take
away
the names of the Baalim
out
of
her
mouth,
and
they
shall
no more
be mentioned
by
their
name
.
On
that day I
will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air
and the creatures
that
crawl
on
the ground .
And I will abolish
bow and sword and weapons
of war
in
the land, and will make them lie down in
safety
.
And
in
that day will I
make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field ,
and with
the birds of the heavens,
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
.
So
I will betroth you
to
Me forever
; I will betroth you
in righteousness and justice, in loving
devotion
and compassion
.
And
I will betroth thee
unto
me for
ever
; yea,
I will betroth thee
unto
me
in righteousness ,
and in
justice, and
in lovingkindness,
and in
mercies
.
And
I will betroth you
in faithfulness ,
and you
will
know the
LORD
. ”
I will even
betroth thee
unto
me
in faithfulness ;
and thou
shalt
know Jehovah
.
“On
that day I will respond—”
declares
the
LORD—
“
I will respond
to
the heavens, and they will
respond
to
the earth .
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that day ,
I will answer,
saith
Jehovah,
I will answer
the heavens, and they shall
answer
the earth ;
And the earth will
respond
to
the grain, to
the new wine and oil ,
and they will
respond
to
Jezreel.
and the earth shall
answer
the grain, and
the new wine ,
and the
oil ;
and they shall
answer
Jezreel.
And I will sow her as
My
own
in the land,
and I will have compassion
on
‘No
Compassion.’
I will say to those
called
‘
Not My People, ’
‘You
are
My people ,’
and they will
say, ‘You
are
my God. ’”
And I will sow her unto
me
in the earth;
and I will have mercy
upon
her
that
had
not
obtained
mercy;
and
I will say to them
that
were
not my people, Thou
art
my people ;
and they shall
say, `Thou
art'
my God.
