Yahweh’s Faithful Betrothal

14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her
(A)And bring her into the wilderness
And speak to her heart.
15 Then I will give her her (B)vineyards from there
And (C)the valley of Achor as a door of hope.
And she will [a](D)sing there as in the days of her youth,
As in the (E)day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
16 And it will be in that day,” declares Yahweh,
That you will call Me [b](F)Ishi
And will no longer call Me [c]Baali.
17 So (G)I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth
So that they will be remembered by their names no more.

14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her;
    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)

16 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
    “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)
