Hosea 2:14-20

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ Therefore, Look! I am going to allure her
    and bring her into the desert,
        and I will speak tenderly to her.^[a]
15 From there I will give her
    her vineyards,
        and the Valley of Achor as a doorway of hope.
And there she will respond,
    as in the days of her youth,
    just as in the day of her coming out of
        the land of Egypt.
¹⁶ And on that day—^[b]
    a declaration of Yahweh—
        you will call me, “My husband;”^[c]
        you will no longer call me, “My Baal.”^[d]
17 I will remove the names
    of the Baals from her mouth,
        and they will no longer be mentioned by their name.
¹⁸ I will make a covenant for them on that day,
    with the animals^[e] of the field,
    with the birds^[f] of the heaven, and
    with the creeping things^[g] of the ground;
        the bow, the sword, and the war I will abolish from the land, and I will let them lie down in safety.
¹⁹ And I will take you as my wife forever;
    I will take you as a wife for myself in righteousness and in justice,
        in steadfast love and in mercy.
²⁰ I will take you as my wife^[h] in faithfulness,
    and you will know Yahweh.
