¹⁴ "Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

¹⁵ 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.

¹⁶ It will be in that day," says Yahweh, "that you will call me 'my husband,' and no longer call me 'my master.'

¹⁷ For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.

¹⁸ 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.

¹⁹ I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

²⁰ I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahweh.
