- 1Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
- 2Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
- 3Lest 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.
- 4And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
- 5For 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.

- 14Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
- 15And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
- 16And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
- 17For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
- 18And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
