"
Say to
your brothers, '
My people !'
And to
your sisters, '
My loved one !'
“
Say of
your brothers, ‘
My people ,’
and of
your sisters, ‘
My loved one .’
Contend
with
your mother !
Contend
, for she is not my wife, Neither
am
I her husband ;
And
let her put
away
her
prostitution
from her face ,
And her
adulteries
from between her breasts ;
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 .
Lest
I strip her naked ,
And make
her bare
as
in
the day that
she
was
born,
And
make her like a wilderness,
And set
her like
a dry
land, And kill
her with
thirst.
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.
Indeed,
on
her
children
I will have no mercy;
For
they are children of unfaithfulness;
I will have no compassion
on
her
children,
because
they are the
children of adultery.
For their mother has played the prostitute.
She
who
conceived them has
done
shamefully;
For she said
, '
I will go after my lovers, Who give me my
bread and my
water, My
wool and my
flax
, My
oil and my
drink. '
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. ’
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your
way
with thorns ,
And
I will build
a wall against
her
, That
she can't
find her way.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her
path
with thorns ;
I will enclose
her
with
a wall, so
she cannot
find her way.
She will follow
after
her lovers ,
But she
won't
overtake
them; And
she will seek them ,
But won't
find them. Then she will say, '
I will go
and
return to my first husband ;
For then was it
better with
me
than now. '
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. ’
For she did
not know
that I gave her the
grain, the
new wine, and the
oil, And
multiplied
to
her silver and gold ,
which they used
for Baal.
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.
Therefore I will take back my grain in its time ,
And my new wine in its season ,
And
will pluck
away my wool and my
flax
which should
have
covered
her nakedness.
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.
Now
I will uncover
her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, And no one will deliver her out of my hand
.
And
then
I will expose
her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands
.
I will also
cause
all her celebrations
to
cease
: Her feasts, her
new moons, her
Sabbaths,
and all her solemn
assemblies
.
I will put
an
end
to
all her exultation
: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—
all her appointed
feasts
.
I will lay
waste
her vines and her
fig trees, About
which she has
said,
'These
are my
wages that
my
lovers have
given
me;
And
I will make them a forest
, '
And the animals
of the field shall
eat
them.
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.
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
.
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
.
"
Therefore, behold, I will allure her ,
And bring
her into
the wilderness, And speak tenderly
to her.
“
Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead
her to
the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly
.
I will give her vineyards from
there,
And the valley of Achor for
a door
of hope ;
And
she will respond there,
As in the days of her youth, And
as in the day when
she came up out of the
land
of
Egypt.
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.
It
will
be
in that day, "
says
Yahweh
, "That
you will call me '
my husband, '
And no longer call me '
my master. '
In that day, ”
declares
the
LORD
, “
you will call Me ‘
my Husband, ’
and no longer call Me ‘
my Master. ’
For I will take
away
the names of the Baals out
of
her
mouth,
And
they
will
no more
be
mentioned
by
their name
.
For I will remove
from
her
lips
the names of the Baals ;
no longer
will
their names
be
invoked
.
In
that day I will 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. I will break
the
bow ,
the
sword ,
and the
battle
out
of the land, And will make them lie down safely
.
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
.
I will betroth you to me forever .
Yes,
I will betroth you to
me
in righteousness ,
in
justice, in loving kindness,
and in
compassion.
So
I will betroth you to Me forever ;
I will betroth you in righteousness and
justice, in loving devotion
and compassion.
I will even
betroth you to
me
in faithfulness ;
And you shall
know Yahweh
.
And
I will betroth you in faithfulness ,
and you will
know the
LORD
. ”
It
will
happen
in
that day ,
I will respond ,"
says
Yahweh,
I will respond to the heavens, And they will respond to the earth ;
“On
that day I will respond —”
declares
the
LORD—
“
I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth .
And the earth will respond to the grain, and
the new wine ,
and the
oil ;
And they will respond to Jezreel.
And the earth will respond to the grain, to
the new wine and oil ,
and they will respond to Jezreel.
I will sow her to
me
in the earth;
And I will have mercy
on her
who
had
not
obtained
mercy;
And
I will tell
those who
were
not my people, '
You are my people ;'
And they will say, '
My God !'"
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 .’”
