And went after her lovers;
But Me she forgot,” says the Lord.
God’s Mercy on His People
Will bring her into the wilderness,
And speak1 comfort to her.
And athe Valley of Achor as a door of hope;
She shall sing there,
As in bthe days of her youth,
cAs in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
Says the Lord,
“That you will call Me1 ‘My Husband,’
And no longer call Me1 ‘My Master,’
And they shall be remembered by their name no more.
With the beasts of the field,
With the birds of the air,
And with the creeping things of the ground.
Bow and sword of battle bI will shatter from the earth,
To make them clie down safely.
Yes, I will betroth you to Me
In righteousness and justice,
In lovingkindness and mercy;
That aI will answer,” says the Lord;
“I will answer the heavens,
And they shall answer the earth.
bAnd I will have mercy on her who had1 not obtained mercy;
Then cI will say to those who were not My people,
‘You are1 My people!’
And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’ ”
