14 “Therefore behold, I will allure her,
    and bring her into the wilderness,
    and speak tenderly to her.
15 I will give her vineyards from there,
    and the valley of Achor for a door of hope;
and she will respond there,
    as in the days of her youth,
    and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 It will be in that day,” says Yahweh,
    “that you will call me ‘my husband,’
    and no longer call me ‘my master.’
17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth,
    and they will no longer be mentioned by name.

God’s Mercy on Israel

14 Therefore, I will allure her,
    and bring her into the wilderness,
    and speak tenderly to her.
15 From there, I will give her vineyards to her,
    and the Valley of Achor as a door of hope.
She will respond there as in the days of her youth,
    and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16 On that day, declares the Lord,
    you will call Me, “My husband,”
    and will no longer call Me, “My Baal.”[a]
17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,
    and they will no longer be remembered by their name.
