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.
