Say{H559} ye unto your brethren,{H251} Ammi;{H5971} and to your sisters,{H269} Ruhamah.{H7355}

Contend{H7378} with your mother,{H517} contend;{H7378} for she is not my wife,{H802} neither am I her husband;{H376} and let her put away{H5493} her whoredoms{H2183} from her face,{H6440} and her adulteries{H5005} from between her breasts;{H7699}

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,{H776} and slay{H4191} her with thirst.{H6772}

Yea, upon her children{H1121} will I have no mercy;{H7355} for they are children{H1121} of whoredom;{H2183}

for their mother{H517} hath played the harlot;{H2181} she that conceived{H2029} them hath done shamefully;{H3001} for she said,{H559} I will go{H3212} after{H310} my lovers,{H157} 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}

Therefore, behold, I will hedge{H7753} up thy way{H1870} with thorns,{H5518} and I will build{H1443} a wall{H1447} against her, that she shall not find{H4672} her paths.{H5410}

And she shall follow{H7291} after her lovers,{H157} but she shall not overtake{H5381} them; and she shall seek{H1245} them, but shall not find{H4672} them: then shall she say,{H559} I will go{H3212} and return{H7725} to my first{H7223} husband;{H376} for then was it better{H2896} with me than now.{H6258}

For she did not know{H3045} that I gave{H5414} her the grain,{H1715} and the new wine,{H8492} and the oil,{H3323} and multiplied{H7235} unto her silver{H3701} and gold,{H2091} which they used{H6213} for Baal.{H1168}

Therefore will I take{H3947} back{H7725} my grain{H1715} in the time{H6256} thereof, and my new wine{H8492} in the season{H4150} thereof, and will pluck{H5337} away my wool{H6785} and my flax{H6593} which should have covered{H3680} her nakedness.{H6172}

And now will I uncover{H1540} her lewdness{H5040} in the sight{H5869} of her lovers,{H157} and none{H376} shall deliver{H5337} her out of my hand.{H3027}

I will also cause all her mirth{H4885} to cease,{H7673} her feasts,{H2282} her new moons,{H2320} and her sabbaths,{H7676} and all her solemn assemblies.{H4150}

And I will lay waste{H8074} her vines{H1612} and her fig-trees,{H8384} whereof she hath said,{H559} These are my hire{H866} that my lovers{H157} have given{H5414} me; and I will make{H7760} them a forest,{H3293} and the beasts{H2416} of the field{H7704} shall eat{H398} them.

And I will visit{H6485} upon her the days{H3117} of the Baalim,{H1168} unto which she burned incense,{H6999} when she decked{H5710} herself with her ear-rings{H5141} and her jewels,{H2484} and went{H3212} after{H310} her lovers,{H157} and forgat{H7911} me, saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Therefore, behold, I will allure{H6601} her, and bring{H3212} her into the wilderness,{H4057} and speak{H1696} comfortably{H3820} unto her.

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 make answer{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{H776} of Egypt.{H4714}

And it shall be at that day,{H3117} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that thou shalt call{H7121} me Ishi,{H376} and shalt call{H7121} me no more Baali.{H1180}

For I will take away{H5493} the names{H8034} of the Baalim{H1168} out of her mouth,{H6310} and they shall no more be mentioned{H2142} by their name.{H8034}

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 birds{H5775} of the heavens,{H8064} and with the creeping things{H7431} of the ground:{H127} and I will break{H7665} the bow{H7198} and the sword{H2719} and the battle{H4421} out of the land,{H776} and will make them to lie down{H7901} safely.{H983}

And I will betroth{H781} thee unto me for ever;{H5769} yea, I will betroth{H781} thee unto me in righteousness,{H6664} and in justice,{H4941} and in lovingkindness,{H2617} and in mercies.{H7356}

I will even betroth{H781} thee unto me in faithfulness;{H530} and thou shalt know{H3045} Jehovah.{H3068}

And it shall come to pass in that day,{H3117} I will answer,{H6030} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} I will answer{H6030} the heavens,{H8064} and they shall answer{H6030} the earth;{H776}

and the earth{H776} shall answer{H6030} the grain,{H1715} and the new wine,{H8492} and the oil;{H3323} and they shall answer{H6030} Jezreel.{H3157}

And I will sow{H2232} her unto me in the earth;{H776} and I will have mercy{H7355} upon her that had not obtained mercy;{H7355} and I will say{H559} to them that were not my people,{H5971} Thou art my people;{H5971} and they shall say,{H559} [Thou art] my God.{H430}
