- 1"Say to your brothers, 'My people!'a And to your sisters, 'My loved one!'b
- 2Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, Neither am I her husband; And let her put away her prostitution from her face, And her adulteries from between her breasts;
- 3Lest I strip her naked, And make her bare as in the day that she was born, And make her like a wilderness, And set her like a dry land, And kill her with thirst.
- 4Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; For they are children of unfaithfulness;
- 5For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done 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.'

- 7She will follow after her lovers, But she won't overtake them; And she will seek them, But won't find them. Then she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband; For then was it better with me than now.'

- 14"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, And bring her into the wilderness, And speak tenderly to her.
- 15I will give her vineyards from there, And the valley of Achor for a door of hope; And she will respond there, As in the days of her youth, And as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
- 16It will be in that day," says Yahweh, "That you will call me 'my husband,' And no longer call me 'my master.'
- 17For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, And they will no more be mentioned by their name.
- 18In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, And with the birds of the sky, And with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, And will make them lie down safely.
