Hosea 2:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ “So now I am going to draw her back to me.
    I will lead her into the desert.
    There I will speak tenderly to her.
¹⁵ I will give her back her vineyards.
    I will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope for her.
Then she will love me, as she did when she was young.
    She will love me just as she did
    when she came up out of Egypt.

¹⁶ “A new day is coming,” announces the Lord.
    “Israel will call me ‘my husband.’
    She will no longer call me ‘my master.’
