I will make her pay for the feast days, feasts for her to burn incense to the Baals. She got all dressed up and chased after her lovers, adorned with earrings and necklaces for them. And me? She has forgotten about me. This is YAHWEH speaking to you!” “Behold, I am going to romance her and draw her into the wilderness; I will speak tenderly to her there with words of love and win her heart back to me. There I will give her back her vineyards, and make the Valley of Trouble an open door to hope. There she will respond to me and sing as when she was young, as on the day when she came up from Egypt. “And I, YAHWEH, declare that when that day comes, you will call me ‘My Husband’ and no longer call me ‘My Master.’ I will banish the names of the Baals from her lips, and she will never mention their names again. When that day comes, I will make a covenant for you, my people, with all the birds and wild animals and creatures that creep upon the ground. I will break the bow and the sword and remove the weapons of war from the land, and I will let you live in peace and safety. I will take you to myself as my wife forever. I will make you mine in righteousness and justice, with unfailing love and tender affection.
