21 On that day I will answer, says the Lord,
I will answer the heavens,
and they shall answer the earth,
22 and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and they shall answer Jezreel,[a](A)
23 and I will sow him[b] for myself in the land.
And I will have pity on Lo-ruhamah,[c]
and I will say to Lo-ammi,[d] “You are my people,”
and he shall say, “You are my God.”(B)
Hosea 2:21-23
International Standard Version
21 “It will come about at that time that I will respond,”
declares the Lord,
“I will respond to the heavens,
and they will respond to the earth.
22 The earth will respond with grain, new wine, and oil,
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.’”
