14. So I am going to take her into the desert again; there I will win her back with words of love.
15. I will give back to her the vineyards she had and make Trouble Valley a door of hope. She will respond to me there as she did when she was young, when she came from Egypt.
16. Then once again she will call me her husband — she will no longer call me her Baal.
17. I will never let her speak the name of Baal again.
18. At that time I will make a covenant with all the wild animals and birds, so that they will not harm my people. I will also remove all weapons of war from the land, all swords and bows, and will let my people live in peace and safety.
19. Israel, I will make you my wife;I will be true and faithful;I will show you constant love and mercyand make you mine for ever.
