Say <H0559> ye unto your brethren, <H0251> Ammi; <H5971> and to your sisters, <H0269> Ruhamah. <H7355>
2
Plead <H7378> with your mother, <H0517> plead: <H7378> for she [is] not my wife, <H0802> neither [am] I her husband: <H0376> let her therefore put away <H5493> her whoredoms <H2183> out of her sight, <H6440> and her adulteries <H5005> from between her breasts; <H7699>
3
Lest I strip <H6584> her naked, <H6174> and set <H3322> her as in the day <H3117> that she was born, <H3205> and make <H7760> her as a wilderness, <H4057> and set <H7896> her like a dry <H6723> land, <H0776> and slay <H4191> her with thirst. <H6772>
4
And I will not have mercy <H7355> upon her children; <H1121> for they [be] the children <H1121> of whoredoms. <H2183>
5
For their mother <H0517> hath played the harlot: <H2181> she that conceived <H2029> them hath done shamefully: <H3001> for she said, <H0559> I will go <H3212> after <H0310> my lovers, <H0157> that give <H5414> [me] my bread <H3899> and my water, <H4325> my wool <H6785> and my flax, <H6593> mine oil <H8081> and my drink. <H8250>
6
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up <H7753> thy way <H1870> with thorns, <H5518> and make <H1443> a wall, <H1447> that she shall not find <H4672> her paths. <H5410>
7
And she shall follow after <H7291> her lovers, <H0157> but she shall not overtake <H5381> them; and she shall seek <H1245> them, but shall not find <H4672> [them]: then shall she say, <H0559> I will go <H3212> and return <H7725> to my first <H7223> husband; <H0376> for then [was it] better <H2896> with me than now. <H6258>
8
For she did not know <H3045> that I gave <H5414> her corn, <H1715> and wine, <H8492> and oil, <H3323> and multiplied <H7235> her silver <H3701> and gold, <H2091> [which] they prepared <H6213> for Baal. <H1168>
9
Therefore will I return, <H7725> and take away <H3947> my corn <H1715> in the time <H6256> thereof, and my wine <H8492> in the season <H4150> thereof, and will recover <H5337> my wool <H6785> and my flax <H6593> [given] to cover <H3680> her nakedness. <H6172>
10
And now will I discover <H1540> her lewdness <H5040> in the sight <H5869> of her lovers, <H0157> and none <H0376> shall deliver <H5337> her out of mine hand. <H3027>
11
I will also cause all her mirth <H4885> to cease, <H7673> her feast days, <H2282> her new moons, <H2320> and her sabbaths, <H7676> and all her solemn feasts. <H4150>
12
And I will destroy <H8074> her vines <H1612> and her fig trees, <H8384> whereof she hath said, <H0559> These [are] my rewards <H0866> that my lovers <H0157> have given <H5414> me: and I will make <H7760> them a forest, <H3293> and the beasts <H2416> of the field <H7704> shall eat <H0398> them.
13
And I will visit <H6485> upon her the days <H3117> of Baalim, <H1168> wherein she burned incense <H6999> to them, and she decked <H5710> herself with her earrings <H5141> and her jewels, <H2484> and she went <H3212> after <H0310> her lovers, <H0157> and forgat <H7911> me, saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
14
Therefore, behold, I will allure <H6601> her, and bring <H3212> her into the wilderness, <H4057> and speak <H1696> comfortably <H3820> unto her.
15
And I will give <H5414> her her vineyards <H3754> from thence, and the valley <H6010> of Achor <H5911> for a door <H6607> of hope: <H8615> and she shall sing <H6030> there, as in the days <H3117> of her youth, <H5271> and as in the day <H3117> when she came up <H5927> out of the land <H0776> of Egypt. <H4714>
16
And it shall be at that day, <H3117> saith <H5002> the LORD, <H3068> [that] thou shalt call <H7121> me Ishi; <H0376> and shalt call <H7121> me no more Baali. <H1180> <H1167>
17
For I will take away <H5493> the names <H8034> of Baalim <H1168> out of her mouth, <H6310> and they shall no more be remembered <H2142> by their name. <H8034>
18
And in that day <H3117> will I make <H3772> a covenant <H1285> for them with the beasts <H2416> of the field, <H7704> and with the fowls <H5775> of heaven, <H8064> and [with] the creeping things <H7431> of the ground: <H0127> and I will break <H7665> the bow <H7198> and the sword <H2719> and the battle <H4421> out of the earth, <H0776> and will make them to lie down <H7901> safely. <H0983>
19
And I will betroth <H0781> thee unto me for ever; <H5769> yea, I will betroth <H0781> thee unto me in righteousness, <H6664> and in judgment, <H4941> and in lovingkindness, <H2617> and in mercies. <H7356>
20
I will even betroth <H0781> thee unto me in faithfulness: <H0530> and thou shalt know <H3045> the LORD. <H3068>
21
And it shall come to pass in that day, <H3117> I will hear, <H6030> saith <H5002> the LORD, <H3068> I will hear <H6030> the heavens, <H8064> and they shall hear <H6030> the earth; <H0776>
22
And the earth <H0776> shall hear <H6030> the corn, <H1715> and the wine, <H8492> and the oil; <H3323> and they shall hear <H6030> Jezreel. <H3157>
23
And I will sow <H2232> her unto me in the earth; <H0776> and I will have mercy <H7355> upon her that had not obtained mercy; <H3808> <H7355><H3819> and I will say <H0559> to [them which were] not my people, <H3808> <H5971><H3818> Thou [art] my people; <H5971> and they shall say, <H0559> [Thou art] my God. <H0430>
