21 耶和华说:
“那时,我要应允,
我要应允天的祈求,
天要应允地的祈求,
22 地要应允五谷、新酒和油的祈求,
五谷、新酒和油要应允耶斯列的祈求。
23 我要把你栽种在这片土地上,归我所有。
我要怜悯那不蒙怜悯的人,
对那不是我子民的人说,‘你是我的子民。’
他们也要对我说,‘你是我的上帝。’”

21 “In that day I will respond,”
    declares the Lord
“I will respond(A) to the skies,
    and they will respond to the earth;
22 and the earth will respond to the grain,
    the new wine and the olive oil,(B)
    and they will respond to Jezreel.[a](C)
23 I will plant(D) her for myself in the land;
    I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.[b](E)
I will say to those called ‘Not my people,[c]’ ‘You are my people’;(F)
    and they will say, ‘You are my God.(G)’”
