Hosea 2:14-23
New American Standard Bible
Restoration of Israel
14 “Therefore, behold, I am going to persuade her,
(A)Bring her into the wilderness,
And speak [a]kindly to her.
15 Then I will give her her (B)vineyards from there,
And (C)the [b]Valley of Achor as a door of hope.
And she will [c](D)respond there as in the days of her youth,
As in the (E)day when she went up from the land of Egypt.
16 And it will come about on that day,” declares the Lord,
“That you will call Me [d](F)my husband
And no longer call Me my [e]Baal.
17 For (G)I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,
So that they will no longer be [f]mentioned by their names.
18 On that day I will also make a covenant for them
With the (H)animals of the field,
The birds of the sky,
And the crawling things of the ground.
And I will [g](I)eliminate the bow, the sword, and war from the land,
And will let them (J)lie down in safety.
19 I will (K)betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me in (L)righteousness and in justice,
In favor and in compassion,
20 And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness.
Then you will (M)know the Lord.
21 “And it will come about on that day that (N)I will respond,” declares the Lord.
“I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth,
22 And the (O)earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine, and to the oil,
And they will respond to [h]Jezreel.
23 I will (P)sow her for Myself in the land.
(Q)I will also have compassion on [i]her who had not obtained compassion,
And (R)I will say to [j]those who were (S)not My people,
‘You are My people!’
And [k]they will say, ‘You are my God!’”

New International Version
14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the wilderness(A)
and speak tenderly to her.
15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor[a](B) a door of hope.
There she will respond[b](C) as in the days of her youth,(D)
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.(E)
16 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“you will call me ‘my husband’;(F)
you will no longer call me ‘my master.[c]’
17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips;(G)
no longer will their names be invoked.(H)
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them
with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the creatures that move along the ground.(I)
Bow and sword and battle
I will abolish(J) from the land,
so that all may lie down in safety.(K)
19 I will betroth(L) you to me forever;
I will betroth you in[d] righteousness and justice,(M)
in[e] love and compassion.(N)
20 I will betroth you in[f] faithfulness,
and you will acknowledge(O) the Lord.(P)
21 “In that day I will respond,”
declares the Lord—
“I will respond(Q) to the skies,
and they will respond to the earth;
22 and the earth will respond to the grain,
the new wine and the olive oil,(R)
and they will respond to Jezreel.[g](S)
23 I will plant(T) her for myself in the land;
I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.[h](U)’
I will say to those called ‘Not my people,[i]’ ‘You are my people’;(V)
and they will say, ‘You are my God.(W)’”
