Hosea 2:14-23 - Israel's Adultery Forgiven

¹⁴ For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her. ¹⁵ And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt. ¹⁶ And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali; ¹⁷ For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names. ¹⁸ And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace. ¹⁹ And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies. ²⁰ I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord. ²¹ And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth; ²² And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel; ²³ And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.
