Hoshea 2:13-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

13. [2:15] And I will visit upon her the yamim of Ba'alim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her ring and her jewelry, and she went after her lovers, and forgot Me, saith Hashem.

14. [2:16] Therefore, hinei, I will allure her, and bring her into the midbar, and speak to her lev.

15. [2:17] And there I will give her her kramim (vineyards), and the Emek Achor (Valley of Trouble) I will make a petach tikvah (door of hope); and she shall sing there, as in the yamim of her youth, and as in the yom when she came up out of Eretz Mitzrayim.

16. [2:18] And it shall be in Yom Hahu, saith Hashem, that thou shalt call Me Ishi (my Husband); and shalt call Me no more Ba'ali.

17. [2:19] For I will take away the shemot (names) of Ba'alim out of her mouth, and they shall be remembered by their names no more.

18. [2:20] And in Yom Hahu will I make a brit (covenant) for them with the beasts of the sadeh and with the fowls of Shomayim, and with the creeping things of the adamah; and I will abolish the keshet and the cherev and the milchamah from ha'aretz, and will make them to lie down in safety.

19. [2:21] And I will betroth thee unto Me l'olam; yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in tzedek, and in mishpat, and in chesed, and in rachamim.

20. [2:22] I will even betroth thee unto Me in emunah (faithfulness, fidelity): then thou shalt know Hashem.
