Hosea 2:14-20

14“ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, IH595 will allure herH6601 and lead herH1980 to the wildernessH4057, and speakH1696 to herH5921 tenderlyH3820.15ThereH8033 I will give backH5414 her vineyardsH3754 and make the ValleyH6010 of AchorH5911 1 into a gatewayH6607 of hopeH8615. ThereH8033 she will respond as she didH6030 in the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, as in the dayH3117 she came upH5927 outH776 of EgyptH4714.16 In thatH1931 dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, “you will call MeH7121 ‘my HusbandH376,’2 and noH3808 longerH5750 callH7121 Me ‘my MasterH1180.’317For I will removeH5493 from her lipsH6310 the namesH8034 of the BaalsH1168; noH3808 longerH5750 will their namesH8034 be invokedH2142.

18On thatH1931 dayH3117 I will makeH3772 a covenantH1285 for themwithH5973 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 and the birdsH5775 of the airH8064and the creatures that crawlH7431 on the groundH127.And I will abolishH7665 bowH7198 and swordH2719and battleH4421 inH4480 the landH776,and will make them lie downH7901 in safetyH983.19So I will betroth youH781 to Me foreverH5769;I will betroth youH781 in righteousnessH6664 and justiceH4941,in loving devotionH2617 4 and compassionH7356.20And I will betroth youH781 in faithfulnessH530,and you will knowH3045 the LORDH3068.”
