Say{H559}{(H8798)} ye unto your brethren{H251}, Ammi{H5971}; and to your sisters{H269}, Ruhamah{H7355}{(H8795)}.

Plead{H7378}{(H8798)} with your mother{H517}, plead{H7378}{(H8798)}: for she is not my wife{H802}, neither am I her husband{H376}: let her therefore put away{H5493}{(H8686)} her whoredoms{H2183} out of her sight{H6440}, and her adulteries{H5005} from between her breasts{H7699};

Lest I strip{H6584}{(H8686)} her naked{H6174}, and set{H3322}{(H8689)} her as in the day{H3117} that she was born{H3205}{(H8736)}, and make{H7760}{(H8804)} her as a wilderness{H4057}, and set{H7896}{(H8804)} her like a dry{H6723} land{H776}, and slay{H4191}{(H8689)} her with thirst{H6772}.

And I will not have mercy{H7355}{(H8762)} upon her children{H1121}; for they be the children{H1121} of whoredoms{H2183}.

For their mother{H517} hath played the harlot{H2181}{(H8804)}: she that conceived{H2029}{(H8802)} them hath done shamefully{H3001}{(H8689)}: for she said{H559}{(H8804)}, I will go{H3212}{(H8799)} after{H310} my lovers{H157}{(H8764)}, that give{H5414}{(H8802)} 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}{(H8801)} up thy way{H1870} with thorns{H5518}, and make{H1443}{(H8804)} a wall{H1447}, that she shall not find{H4672}{(H8799)} her paths{H5410}.

And she shall follow{H7291}{(H8765)} after her lovers{H157}{(H8764)}, but she shall not overtake{H5381}{(H8686)} them; and she shall seek{H1245}{(H8765)} them, but shall not find{H4672}{(H8799)} them: then shall she say{H559}{(H8804)}, I will go{H3212}{(H8799)} and return{H7725}{(H8799)} to my first{H7223} husband{H376}; for then was it better{H2896} with me than now{H6258}.

For she did not know{H3045}{(H8804)} that I gave{H5414}{(H8804)} her corn{H1715}, and wine{H8492}, and oil{H3323}, and multiplied{H7235}{(H8689)} her silver{H3701} and gold{H2091}, which they prepared{H6213}{(H8804)} for Baal{H1168}.

Therefore will I return{H7725}{(H8799)}, and take away{H3947}{(H8804)} my corn{H1715} in the time{H6256} thereof, and my wine{H8492} in the season{H4150} thereof, and will recover{H5337}{(H8689)} my wool{H6785} and my flax{H6593} given to cover{H3680}{(H8763)} her nakedness{H6172}.

And now will I discover{H1540}{(H8762)} her lewdness{H5040} in the sight{H5869} of her lovers{H157}{(H8764)}, and none{H376} shall deliver{H5337}{(H8686)} her out of mine hand{H3027}.

I will also cause all her mirth{H4885} to cease{H7673}{(H8689)}, her feast days{H2282}, her new moons{H2320}, and her sabbaths{H7676}, and all her solemn feasts{H4150}.

And I will destroy{H8074}{(H8689)} her vines{H1612} and her fig trees{H8384}, whereof she hath said{H559}{(H8804)}, These are my rewards{H866} that my lovers{H157}{(H8764)} have given{H5414}{(H8804)} me: and I will make{H7760}{(H8804)} them a forest{H3293}, and the beasts{H2416} of the field{H7704} shall eat{H398}{(H8804)} them.

And I will visit{H6485}{(H8804)} upon her the days{H3117} of Baalim{H1168}, wherein she burned incense{H6999}{(H8686)} to them, and she decked{H5710}{(H8799)} herself with her earrings{H5141} and her jewels{H2484}, and she went{H3212}{(H8799)} after{H310} her lovers{H157}{(H8764)}, and forgat{H7911}{(H8804)} me, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Therefore, behold, I will allure{H6601}{(H8764)} her, and bring{H3212}{(H8689)} her into the wilderness{H4057}, and speak{H1696}{(H8765)} comfortably{H3820} unto her.

And I will give{H5414}{(H8804)} 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}{(H8804)} there, as in the days{H3117} of her youth{H5271}, and as in the day{H3117} when she came up{H5927}{(H8800)} out of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}.

And it shall be at that day{H3117}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that thou shalt call{H7121}{(H8799)} me Ishi{H376}; and shalt call{H7121}{(H8799)} me no more Baali{H1180}.

For I will take away{H5493}{(H8689)} the names{H8034} of Baalim{H1168} out of her mouth{H6310}, and they shall no more be remembered{H2142}{(H8735)} by their name{H8034}.

And in that day{H3117} will I make{H3772}{(H8804)} 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{H127}: and I will break{H7665}{(H8799)} the bow{H7198} and the sword{H2719} and the battle{H4421} out of the earth{H776}, and will make them to lie down{H7901}{(H8689)} safely{H983}.

And I will betroth{H781}{(H8765)} thee unto me for ever{H5769}; yea, I will betroth{H781}{(H8765)} thee unto me in righteousness{H6664}, and in judgment{H4941}, and in lovingkindness{H2617}, and in mercies{H7356}.

I will even betroth{H781}{(H8765)} thee unto me in faithfulness{H530}: and thou shalt know{H3045}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}.

And it shall come to pass in that day{H3117}, I will hear{H6030}{(H8799)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, I will hear{H6030}{(H8799)} the heavens{H8064}, and they shall hear{H6030}{(H8799)} the earth{H776};

And the earth{H776} shall hear{H6030}{(H8799)} the corn{H1715}, and the wine{H8492}, and the oil{H3323}; and they shall hear{H6030}{(H8799)} Jezreel{H3157}.

And I will sow{H2232}{(H8804)} her unto me in the earth{H776}; and I will have mercy{H7355}{(H8765)} upon her that had not obtained mercy{H7355}{(H8795)}{(H8677)}{H3818}; and I will say{H559}{(H8804)} to them which were not my people{H5971}, Thou art my people{H5971}; and they shall say{H559}{(H8799)}, Thou art my God{H430}.
