(A)For your Maker is your husband,
    the Lord of hosts is his name;
(B)and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,
    (C)the God of the whole earth he is called.
(D)For the Lord has called you
    like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,
like a wife of youth when she is cast off,
    says your God.
(E)For a brief moment I deserted you,
    but with great compassion I will gather you.
(F)In overflowing anger for a moment
    I hid my face from you,
(G)but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
    says the Lord, your Redeemer.
