Hosea 2:19-23
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
19 And I will take you for my wife forever; I will take you for my wife in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. 20 I will take you for my wife in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord.
21 On that day I will answer, says the Lord,
I will answer the heavens
and they shall answer the earth;
22 and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and they shall answer Jezreel;[a]
23 and I will sow him[b] for myself in the land.
And I will have pity on Lo-ruhamah,[c]
and I will say to Lo-ammi,[d] “You are my people”;
and he shall say, “You are my God.”
