Hosea 2:14-17
Christian Standard Bible
Israel’s Adultery Forgiven
14 Therefore, I am going to persuade her,
lead her to the wilderness,(A)
and speak tenderly to her.[a]
15 There I will give her vineyards back to her(B)
and make the Valley of Achor[b](C)
into a gateway of hope.
There she will respond as she did
in the days of her youth,(D)
as in the day she came out of the land of Egypt.
16 In that day—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
you will call me “my husband”(E)
and no longer call me “my Baal.”[c]
17 For I will remove the names of the Baals
from her mouth;
they will no longer be remembered by their names.
Hosea 2:14-17
Lexham English Bible
14 Therefore, Look! I am going to allure her
and bring her into the desert,
and I will speak tenderly to her.[a]
15 From there I will give her
her vineyards,
and the Valley of Achor as a doorway of hope.
And there she will respond,
as in the days of her youth,
just as in the day of her coming out of
the land of Egypt.
16 And on that day—[b]
a declaration of Yahweh—
you will call me, “My husband;”[c]
you will no longer call me, “My Baal.”[d]
17 I will remove the names
of the Baals from her mouth,
and they will no longer be mentioned by their name.
