Hos 2:16 "It will come about in that day," declares the LORD, "That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali.
Hos 2:17 "For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will be mentioned by their names no more.
Hos 2:18 "In that day I will also make a covenant for them With the beasts of the field, The birds of the sky And the creeping things of the ground. And I will abolish the bow, the sword and war from the land, And will make them lie down in safety.
Hos 2:19 "I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion,
Hos 2:20 And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the LORD.
Hos 2:21 ¶ "It will come about in that day that I will respond," declares the LORD. "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth,
Hos 2:22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and to the oil, And they will respond to Jezreel.
Hos 2:23 "I will sow her for Myself in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion, And I will say to those who were not My people, 'You are My people!' And they will say, 'You are my God!'"
Hos 3:1 Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes."
Hos 3:2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley.
Hos 3:3 Then I said to her, "You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you."
Hos 3:4 For the sons of Israel will remain for many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar and without ephod or household idols.
Hos 3:5 Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
Hos 4:1 Listen to the word of the LORD, O sons of Israel, For the LORD has a case against the inhabitants of the land, Because there is no faithfulness or kindness Or knowledge of God in the land.
Hos 4:2There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery. They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.
Hos 4:3 Therefore the land mourns, And everyone who lives in it languishes Along with the beasts of the field and the birds of the sky, And also the fish of the sea disappear.
Hos 4:4 ¶ Yet let no one find fault, and let none offer reproof; For your people are like those who contend with the priest.
Hos 4:5 So you will stumble by day, And the prophet also will stumble with you by night; And I will destroy your mother.
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
Hos 4:7 ¶ The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.
