Hoshea 2:16-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.

21. [2:23] And it shall come to pass in Yom Hahu, I will answer, saith Hashem, I will answer HaShomayim (the heavens), and they shall answer Ha'Aretz;

22. [2:24] And Ha'Aretz shall answer with dagan, and tirosh, and yitzhar; and they shall answer Yizre'el (G-d will sow).

23. [2:25] And I will sow her for Myself in ha'aretz; and I will have rachamim upon lo ruchamah; and I will say to them which were lo ami, Thou art ami (My people); and they shall say, Thou art Elohai (my G-d).
