Hosea 2:21-23
World English Bible
21 It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says Yahweh,
“I will respond to the heavens,
and they will respond to the earth;
22 and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil;
and they will respond to Jezreel.
23 I will sow her to me in the earth;
and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy;
and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’
and they will say, ‘My God!’”

and they will respond to Jezreel.[a]
23 I will plant my people[b] in the land for myself.
I will show mercy on her who has received no mercy[c]
I will say to those who are not my people,[d] ‘You are my people!’
and they will say, ‘You are[e] my God.’”
