Hosea 2:14-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

14. Therefore, I will allure her,and bring her into the wilderness,and speak tenderly to her.

15. From there, I will give her vineyards to her,and the Valley of Achor as a door of hope.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.

16. On that day, declares the Lord,you will call Me, “My husband,”and will no longer call Me, “My Baal.”

17. I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,and they will no longer be remembered by their name.

18. On that day, I will make a covenant for themwith the beasts of the field, with the fowls of heaven,and with the creeping things of the ground.I will break the bow and the sword and the battlefrom the earth,and will make them to lie down safely.

19. I will take you for My wife forever.I will take you for My wife in righteousness and in justice,in mercy and in compassion.

20. I will take you for My wife in faithfulness,and you will know the Lord.

21. On that day I will answer,declares the Lord;I will answer the heavens,and they will answer the earth.

22. The earth will answer the grain,the wine, and the oil;and they will answer Jezreel.

23. Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth.I will have mercy upon Lo-Ruhamah,and I will say to Lo-Ammi, “You are My people,”and they will say, “You are my God.”
