And it shall be at that day, says LORD, that thou shall call me Ishi, and shall no more call me Baali.

I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness, and thou shall know LORD.

And I will sow her to me in the earth. And I will have mercy upon her who had not obtained mercy. And I will say to those who were not my people, Thou are my people, and they shall say, My God.

And I said to her, Thou shall abide for me many days. Thou shall not play the harlot, and thou shall not be any man's wife. So I will also be toward thee.

And thou shall stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night. And I will destroy thy mother.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because thou have rejected knowledge, I also will reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me. Since thou have forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy sons.

Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend, and come not ye to Gilgal, nor go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As LORD lives.

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me. For now, O Ephraim, thou have played the harlot; Israel is defiled.

Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy like the peoples, for thou have played the harlot, [departing] from thy God. Thou have loved hire upon every grain-floor.

Give them, O LORD--what will thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

O Israel, thou have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they stood. The battle against the sons of iniquity does not overtake them in Gibeah.

Ye have plowed wickedness. Ye have reaped iniquity. Ye have eaten the fruit of lies. For thou trusted in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

Therefore turn thou to thy God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually.

Yet I am LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shall know no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.

It is thy destruction, O Israel, that [thou are] against me, against thy help.

Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities, and thy judges, of whom thou said, Give me a king and rulers?

O Israel, return to LORD thy God, for thou have fallen by thine iniquity.
