    I will lead her into the wilderness^(A)
    and speak tenderly to her.
¹⁵ There I will give her back her vineyards,
    and will make the Valley of Achor^[a](B) a door of hope.
There she will respond^[b](C) as in the days of her youth,^(D)
    as in the day she came up out of Egypt.^(E)

    “you will call me ‘my husband’;^(F)
    you will no longer call me ‘my master.^[c]’
¹⁷ I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips;^(G)
    no longer will their names be invoked.^(H)

¹⁹ I will betroth^(A) you to me forever;
    I will betroth you in^[a] righteousness and justice,^(B)
    in^[b] love and compassion.^(C)

²³ I will plant^(A) her for myself in the land;
    I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.^[a](B)’
I will say to those called ‘Not my people,^[b]’ ‘You are my people’;^(C)
    and they will say, ‘You are my God.^(D)’”
