Hosea 2:14-20

14Therefore, I am going to persuade her, lead her to the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

15There I will give her vineyards back to her 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 out of the land of Egypt.

16In that day — this is the Lord’s declaration — you will call me “my husband” and no longer call me “my Baal.”

17For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth; they will no longer be remembered by their names.

18On that day I will make a covenant for them with the wild animals, the birds of the sky, and the creatures that crawl on the ground. I will shatter bow, sword, and weapons of war in the land and will enable the people to rest securely.

19I will take you to be my wife forever. I will take you to be my wife in righteousness, justice, love, and compassion.

20I will take you to be my wife in faithfulness, and you will know the Lord.
