Hosea 2:19-23
English Standard Version
19 And I will betroth you to me (A)forever. (B)I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. 20 (C)I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And (D)you shall know the Lord.
21 “And (E)in that day (F)I will answer, declares 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 (G)Jezreel,[a]
23 and (H)I will sow her for myself in the land.
And (I)I (J)will have mercy on No Mercy,[b]
and (K)I will say to Not My People,[c] (L)‘You are my people’;
and he shall say, ‘You are my God.’”
