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.
