V.1 Say 559-3 ye unto your brethren, 251 Ammi; 5971 and to your sisters, 269 Ruhamah. 7355-27

2:2 Plead 7378-3 with your mother, 517 plead: 7378-3 for she [is] not my wife, 802 neither [am] I her husband: 376 let her therefore put away 5493-55 her whoredoms 2183 out of her sight, 6440 and her adulteries 5005 from between her breasts; 7699

2:3 Lest I strip 6584-55 her naked, 6174 and set 3322-52 her as in the day 3117 that she was born, 3205-9 and make 7760-1 her as a wilderness, 4057 and set 7896-1 her like a dry 6723 land, 776 and slay 4191-52 her with thirst. 6772

2:4 And I will not have mercy 7355-17 upon her children; 1121 for they [be] the children 1121 of whoredoms. 2183

2:5 For their mother 517 hath played the harlot: 2181-1 she that conceived 2029-6 them hath done shamefully: 3001-52 for she said, 559-1 I will go 3212-4 after 310 my lovers, 157-18 that give 5414-6 [me] my bread 3899 and my water, 4325 my wool 6785 and my flax, 6593 mine oil 8081 and my drink. 8250

2:6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up 7753-5 thy way 1870 with thorns, 5518 and make 1443-1 a wall, 1447 that she shall not find 4672-4 her paths. 5410

2:7 And she shall follow after 7291-14 her lovers, 157-18 but she shall not overtake 5381-55 them; and she shall seek 1245- 14 them, but shall not find 4672-4 [them]: then shall she say, 559-1 I will go 3212-4 and return 7725-4 to my first 7223 husband; 376 for then [was it] better 2896 with me than now. 6258

2:8 For she did not know 3045-1 that I gave 5414-1 her corn, 1715 and wine, 8492 and oil, 3323 and multiplied 7235-52 her silver 3701 and gold, 2091 [which] they prepared 6213-1 for Baal. 1168

2:9 Therefore will I return, 7725-4 and take away 3947-1 my corn 1715 in the time 6256 thereof, and my wine 8492 in the season 4150 thereof, and will recover 5337-52 my wool 6785 and my flax 6593 [given] to cover 3680-15 her nakedness. 6172

2:10 And now will I discover 1540-17 her lewdness 5040 in the sight 5869 of her lovers, 157-18 and none 376 shall deliver 5337-55 her out of mine hand. 3027

2:11 I will also cause all her mirth 4885 to cease, 7673-52 her feast days, 2282 her new moons, 2320 and her sabbaths, 7676 and all her solemn feasts. 4150

2:12 And I will destroy 8074-52 her vines 1612 and her fig trees, 8384 whereof she hath said, 559-1 These [are] my rewards 866 that my lovers 157-18 have given 5414-1 me: and I will make 7760-1 them a forest, 3293 and the beasts 2416 of the field 7704 shall eat 398-1 them.

2:13 And I will visit 6485-1 upon her the days 3117 of Baalim, 1168 wherein she burned incense 6999-55 to them, and she decked 5710-4 herself with her earrings 5141 and her jewels, 2484 and she went 3212-4 after 310 her lovers, 157-18 and forgat 7911-1 me, saith 5002-7 the LORD. 3068

2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure 6601-18 her, and bring 3212-52 her into the wilderness, 4057 and speak 1696-14 comfortably 3820 unto her.

2:15 And I will give 5414-1 her her vineyards 3754 from thence, and the valley 6010 of Achor 5911 for a door 6607 of hope: 8615 and she shall sing 6030-1 there, as in the days 3117 of her youth, 5271 and as in the day 3117 when she came up 5927-2 out of the land 776 of Egypt. 4714

2:16 And it shall be at that day, 3117 saith 5002-7 the LORD, 3068 [that] thou shalt call 7121-4 me Ishi; 376 and shalt call 7121-4 me no more Baali. 1180|1167

2:17 For I will take away 5493-52 the names 8034 of Baalim 1168 out of her mouth, 6310 and they shall no more be remembered 2142-11 by their name. 8034

2:18 And in that day 3117 will I make 3772-1 a covenant 1285 for them with the beasts 2416 of the field, 7704 and with the fowls 5775 of heaven, 8064 and [with] the creeping things 7431 of the ground: 127 and I will break 7665-4 the bow 7198 and the sword 2719 and the battle 4421 out of the earth, 776 and will make them to lie down 7901-52 safely. 983

2:19 And I will betroth 781-14 thee unto me for ever; 5769 yea, I will betroth 781-14 thee unto me in righteousness, 6664 and in judgment, 4941 and in lovingkindness, 2617 and in mercies. 7356

2:20 I will even betroth 781-14 thee unto me in faithfulness: 530 and thou shalt know 3045-1 the LORD. 3068

2:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, 3117 I will hear, 6030-4 saith 5002-7 the LORD, 3068 I will hear 6030-4 the heavens, 8064 and they shall hear 6030-4 the earth; 776

2:22 And the earth 776 shall hear 6030-4 the corn, 1715 and the wine, 8492 and the oil; 3323 and they shall hear 6030-4 Jezreel. 3157
