Hosea 2:21-23
Lexham English Bible
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.”

That (A)I will answer,” says the Lord;

With grain,
With new wine,
And with oil;
They shall answer [a]Jezreel.
