Call your brothers: My People
and your sisters: Compassion.

In that day—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
you will call Me, “My husband,”
and no longer call Me, “My Baal.”

So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove;
they call to Egypt, and they go to Assyria.

Ephraim is struck down;
their roots are withered;
they cannot bear fruit.
Even if they bear children,
I will kill the precious offspring of their wombs.

My people are bent on turning from Me.
Though they call to Him on high,
He will not exalt them at all.
