1 Say you2f unto your brethren, ‘Ammi [my people]; and to your sisters, ‘Ruchamah [pitied].

2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she [is] not my wife, neither [am] I her husband: let her therefore put away her cult prostitution out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.

4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they [be] the children of cult prostitution.

5 For their mother has played the prostitute: she that conceived them has done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up youri way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.

7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find [them]: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then [was it] better with me than now.

8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for Ba’al [lord (a false god)].

9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax [given] to cover her nakedness.

10 And now will I reveal her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.

11 I will also cause all her gladness to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her Shabbat, and all her solemn feasts.

12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she has said, These [are] my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

13 And I will visit upon her the days of Ba’alim [lords (false gods)], wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

15 And I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Akhor [Trouble] for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].

16 And it shall be at that day, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [that] youi shall call me Ishi [My Husband]; and shall call me no more Ba’ali [lord (a false god)].

17 For I will take away the names of Ba’alim [lords (false gods)] out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and [with] the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

19 And I will betroth youi unto me forever; yes, I will betroth youi unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

20 I will even betroth youi unto me in faithfulness: and youi shall know the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;

22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Yizre’el [God Sows].

23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to [them which were] not my people, youi [are] my people; and they shall say, [youi are] my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
