21 On that day I will answer, declares Yahweh,[a]
    I will answer the heavens,
        and they will answer the earth.
22 And the earth will answer
    the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and they will answer Jezreel.[b]
23     I will sow her for myself in the land;
        I will have pity on Lo-ruhama;[c]
    I will say to Lo-ammi,[d]
        “You are my people,”
    and he himself will say, “you are my God.”
