22 Then the earth will answer the thirsty cries
    of the grain, the grapevines, and the olive trees.
And they in turn will answer,
    ‘Jezreel’—‘God plants!’
23 At that time I will plant a crop of Israelites
    and raise them for myself.
I will show love
    to those I called ‘Not loved.’[a]
And to those I called ‘Not my people,’[b]
    I will say, ‘Now you are my people.’
And they will reply, ‘You are our God!’”
