2:1 Say
ye
unto
your
brethren,
Ammi;
and
to
your
sisters,
Ruhamah.
2:2 Contend
with
your
mother,
contend;
for
she
is
not
my
wife,
neither
am
I
her
husband;
and
let
her
put
away
her
whoredoms
from
her
face,
and
her
adulteries
from
between
her
breasts;
2:3 lest
I
strip
her
naked,
and
set
her
as
in
the
day
that
she
was
born,
and
make
her
as
a
wilderness,
and
set
her
like
a
dry
land,
and
slay
her
with
thirst.
2:4 Yea,
upon
her
children
will
I
have
no
mercy;
for
they
are
children
of
whoredom;
2:5 for
their
mother
hath
played
the
harlot;
she
that
conceived
them
hath
done
shamefully;
for
she
said,
I
will
go
after
my
lovers,
that
give
me
my
bread
and
my
water,
my
wool
and
my
flax,
mine
oil
and
my
drink.
2:6 Therefore,
behold,
I
will
hedge
up
thy
way
with
thorns,
and
I
will
build
a
wall
against
her,
that
she
shall
not
find
her
paths.
2:7 And
she
shall
follow
after
her
lovers,
but
she
shall
not
overtake
them;
and
she
shall
seek
them,
but
shall
not
find
them:
then
shall
she
say,
I
will
go
and
return
to
my
first
husband;
for
then
was
it
better
with
me
than
now.
2:8 For
she
did
not
know
that
I
gave
her
the
grain,
and
the
new
wine,
and
the
oil,
and
multiplied
unto
her
silver
and
gold,
which
they
used
for
Baal.
2:9 Therefore
will
I
take
back
my
grain
in
the
time
thereof,
and
my
new
wine
in
the
season
thereof,
and
will
pluck
away
my
wool
and
my
flax
which
should
have
covered
her
nakedness.
2:10 And
now
will
I
uncover
her
lewdness
in
the
sight
of
her
lovers,
and
none
shall
deliver
her
out
of
my
hand.
2:11 I
will
also
cause
all
her
mirth
to
cease,
her
feasts,
her
new
moons,
and
her
sabbaths,
and
all
her
solemn
assemblies.
2:12 And
I
will
lay
waste
her
vines
and
her
fig-trees,
whereof
she
hath
said,
These
are
my
hire
that
my
lovers
have
given
me;
and
I
will
make
them
a
forest,
and
the
beasts
of
the
field
shall
eat
them.
2:13 And
I
will
visit
upon
her
the
days
of
the
Baalim,
unto
which
she
burned
incense,
when
she
decked
herself
with
her
earrings
and
her
jewels,
and
went
after
her
lovers,
and
forgat
me,
saith
Jehovah.
2:14 Therefore,
behold,
I
will
allure
her,
and
bring
her
into
the
wilderness,
and
speak
comfortably
unto
her.
2:15 And
I
will
give
her
her
vineyards
from
thence,
and
the
valley
of
Achor
for
a
door
of
hope;
and
she
shall
make
answer
there,
as
in
the
days
of
her
youth,
and
as
in
the
day
when
she
came
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
2:16 And
it
shall
be
at
that
day,
saith
Jehovah,
that
thou
shalt
call
me
Ishi,
and
shalt
call
me
no
more
Baali.
2:17 For
I
will
take
away
the
names
of
the
Baalim
out
of
her
mouth,
and
they
shall
no
more
be
mentioned
by
their
name.
2:18 And
in
that
day
will
I
make
a
covenant
for
them
with
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
with
the
birds
of
the
heavens,
and
with
the
creeping
things
of
the
ground:
and
I
will
break
the
bow
and
the
sword
and
the
battle
out
of
the
land,
and
will
make
them
to
lie
down
safely.
2:19 And
I
will
betroth
thee
unto
me
for
ever;
yea,
I
will
betroth
thee
unto
me
in
righteousness,
and
in
justice,
and
in
lovingkindness,
and
in
mercies.
2:20 I
will
even
betroth
thee
unto
me
in
faithfulness;
and
thou
shalt
know
Jehovah.
2:21 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
I
will
answer,
saith
Jehovah,
I
will
answer
the
heavens,
and
they
shall
answer
the
earth;
2:22 and
the
earth
shall
answer
the
grain,
and
the
new
wine,
and
the
oil;
and
they
shall
answer
Jezreel.
2:23 And
I
will
sow
her
unto
me
in
the
earth;
and
I
will
have
mercy
upon
her
that
had
not
obtained
mercy;
and
I
will
say
to
them
that
were
not
my
people,
Thou
art
my
people;
and
they
shall
say,
[Thou
art]
my
God.
