2:1 Say
to
your
brothers,
"You
are
my
people,"
and
to
your
sisters,
"You
have
received
mercy."
2:2 "Plead
with
your
mother,
plead--
for
she
is
not
my
wife,
and
I
am
not
her
husband--
that
she
put
away
her
whoring
from
her
face,
and
her
adultery
from
between
her
breasts;
2:3 lest
I
strip
her
naked
and
make
her
as
in
the
day
she
was
born,
and
make
her
like
a
wilderness,
and
make
her
like
a
parched
land,
and
kill
her
with
thirst.
2:4 Upon
her
children
also
I
will
have
no
mercy,
because
they
are
children
of
whoredom.
2:5 For
their
mother
has
played
the
whore;
she
who
conceived
them
has
acted
shamefully.
For
she
said,
'I
will
go
after
my
lovers,
who
give
me
my
bread
and
my
water,
my
wool
and
my
flax,
my
oil
and
my
drink.'
2:6 Therefore
I
will
hedge
up
her
way
with
thorns,
and
I
will
build
a
wall
against
her,
so
that
she
cannot
find
her
paths.
2:7 She
shall
pursue
her
lovers
but
not
overtake
them,
and
she
shall
seek
them
but
shall
not
find
them.
Then
she
shall
say,
'I
will
go
and
return
to
my
first
husband,
for
it
was
better
for
me
then
than
now.'
2:8 And
she
did
not
know
that
it
was
I
who
gave
her
the
grain,
the
wine,
and
the
oil,
and
who
lavished
on
her
silver
and
gold,
which
they
used
for
Baal.
2:9 Therefore
I
will
take
back
my
grain
in
its
time,
and
my
wine
in
its
season,
and
I
will
take
away
my
wool
and
my
flax,
which
were
to
cover
her
nakedness.
2:10 Now
I
will
uncover
her
lewdness
in
the
sight
of
her
lovers,
and
no
one
shall
rescue
her
out
of
my
hand.
2:11 And
I
will
put
an
end
to
all
her
mirth,
her
feasts,
her
new
moons,
her
Sabbaths,
and
all
her
appointed
feasts.
2:12 And
I
will
lay
waste
her
vines
and
her
fig
trees,
of
which
she
said,
'These
are
my
wages,
which
my
lovers
have
given
me.'
I
will
make
them
a
forest,
and
the
beasts
of
the
field
shall
devour
them.
2:13 And
I
will
punish
her
for
the
feast
days
of
the
Baals
when
she
burned
offerings
to
them
and
adorned
herself
with
her
ring
and
jewelry,
and
went
after
her
lovers
and
forgot
me,
declares
the
LORD.
2:14 "Therefore,
behold,
I
will
allure
her,
and
bring
her
into
the
wilderness,
and
speak
tenderly
to
her.
2:15 And
there
I
will
give
her
her
vineyards
and
make
the
Valley
of
Achor
a
door
of
hope.
And
there
she
shall
answer
as
in
the
days
of
her
youth,
as
at
the
time
when
she
came
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
2:16 "And
in
that
day,
declares
the
LORD,
you
will
call
me
'My
Husband,'
and
no
longer
will
you
call
me
'My
Baal.'
2:17 For
I
will
remove
the
names
of
the
Baals
from
her
mouth,
and
they
shall
be
remembered
by
name
no
more.
2:18 And
I
will
make
for
them
a
covenant
on
that
day
with
the
beasts
of
the
field,
the
birds
of
the
heavens,
and
the
creeping
things
of
the
ground.
And
I
will
abolish
the
bow,
the
sword,
and
war
from
the
land,
and
I
will
make
you
lie
down
in
safety.
2:19 And
I
will
betroth
you
to
me
forever.
I
will
betroth
you
to
me
in
righteousness
and
in
justice,
in
steadfast
love
and
in
mercy.
2:20 I
will
betroth
you
to
me
in
faithfulness.
And
you
shall
know
the
LORD.
2:21 "And
in
that
day
I
will
answer,
declares
the
LORD,
I
will
answer
the
heavens,
and
they
shall
answer
the
earth,
2:22 and
the
earth
shall
answer
the
grain,
the
wine,
and
the
oil,
and
they
shall
answer
Jezreel,
2:23 and
I
will
sow
her
for
myself
in
the
land.
And
I
will
have
mercy
on
No
Mercy,
and
I
will
say
to
Not
My
People,
'You
are
my
people';
and
he
shall
say,
'You
are
my
God.'"
