For your Creator has now become your husband;
    his name is the Lord of hosts.
The Holy One of Israel is your redeemer;
    he is called the God of the entire world.
The Lord has called you back
    like a forsaken wife grieved in spirit,
like the repudiated wife of a man’s youth,
    says your God.
For a brief moment I did forsake you,
    but with great compassion I will take you back.

    I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting love
    I will have compassion on you,
    says the Lord, your Redeemer.
