Hosea 2:14-16

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁴ Therefore, I am going to persuade her,
lead her to the wilderness,^(A)
and speak tenderly to her.^[a]
15 There I will give her vineyards back to her^(B)
and make the Valley of Achor^[b](C)
into a gateway of hope.
There she will respond as she did
in the days of her youth,^(D)
as in the day she came out of the land of Egypt.
¹⁶ In that day –
this is the Lord’s declaration –
you will call me ‘my husband’^(E)
and no longer call me ‘my Baal’.^[c]
