Hosea 2:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ “So I am going to attract her.
    I will lead her into the desert
    and speak tenderly to her.
¹⁵ Then I will give her back her vineyards.
    And I will make the Valley of Achor^[a] a door of hope.
Then she will respond as when she was young,
    as when she came out of Egypt.”

¹⁶ The Lord says, “Then she will call me ‘my husband.’
    She will no longer call me ‘my baal.’^[b]
