1Call Lit Say to your brothers: My People

and your sisters: Compassion.

Israel’s Adultery Rebuked

2Rebuke your mother; rebuke her. Ezk 23:45

For she is not My wife and I am not her husband. Is 50:1

Let her remove the promiscuous look from her face Jr 3:1,9,13

and her adultery from between her breasts.

3Otherwise, I will strip her naked Ezk 16:7,22,39

and expose her as she was on the day of her birth.

I will make her like a desert Is 32:13-14; Hs 13:15

and like a parched land,

and I will let her die of thirst. Jr 14:3; Am 8:11-13

4I will have no compassion on her children Jr 13:14

because they are the children of promiscuity.

5Yes, their mother is promiscuous;

she conceived them and acted shamefully. Is 1:21; Hs 3:1

For she thought, “I will go after my lovers, Jr 2:25

the men who give me my food and water,

my wool and flax, my oil and drink.” Jr 44:17-18

6Therefore, this is what I will do:

I will block her LXX, Syr; MT reads your way Jb 19:8 with thorns; Hs 9:6; 10:8

I will enclose her with a wall,

so that she cannot find her paths. Jr 18:15

7She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; Hs 5:13

she will seek them but not find them.

Then she will think,

“I will go back to my former husband, Jr 2:2; 3:1; Ezk 16:8; 23:4

for then it was better for me than now.” Jr 14:22; Hs 13:6

8She does not recognize Is 1:3

that it is I who gave her the grain, Ezk 16:19

the new wine, and the oil.

I lavished silver and gold on her,

which they used for Baal.

9Therefore, I will take back My grain in its time Hs 8:7; 9:2

and My new wine in its season;

I will take away My wool and linen,

which were to cover her nakedness.

10Now I will expose her shame Ezk 16:37

in the sight of her lovers,

and no one will rescue her from My hands.

11I will put an end to all her celebrations: Jr 7:34; 16:9

her feasts, Hs 3:4; Am 5:21; 8:10 New Moons, Is 1:13-14 and Sabbaths —

all her festivals.

12I will devastate her vines and fig trees. Jr 5:17; 8:13

She thinks that these are her wages

that her lovers have given her.

I will turn them into a thicket, Ps 80:12; Is 5:5; 7:23

and the wild animals will eat them. Is 32:13-15

13And I will punish her for the days of the Baals Hs 4:13; 11:2

when she burned incense to them, Jr 7:9

put on her rings and jewelry, Ezk 16:12,17; 23:40

and went after her lovers,

but forgot Me. Hs 4:6; 8:14; 13:6

This is the Lord’s declaration.

Israel’s Adultery Forgiven

14Therefore, I am going to persuade her,

lead her to the wilderness, Ezk 20:33-38

and speak tenderly to her. Lit speak to her heart

15There I will give her vineyards back to her Ezk 28:25-26

and make the Valley of Achor = Trouble Jos 7:26

into a gateway of hope.

There she will respond as she did

in the days of her youth, Jr 2:1-3

as in the day she came out of the land of Egypt.

16In that day —

this is the Lord’s declaration —

you will call Me, “My husband,” Is 54:5

and no longer call Me, “My Baal.” Or My master

17For I will remove the names of the Baals

from her mouth;

they will no longer be remembered by their names.

18On that day I will make a covenant for them

with the wild animals, the birds of the sky,

and the creatures that crawl on the ground. Jb 5:23; Is 11:6-9; Ezk 34:25

I will shatter bow, sword,

and weapons of war in the land Or war on the earth Ezk 39:1-10

and will enable the people to rest securely. Ezk 34:25

19I will take you to be My wife forever. Is 62:4-5

I will take you to be My wife in righteousness,

justice, love, and compassion. Is 1:27; 54:6-8

20I will take you to be My wife in faithfulness,

and you will know Yahweh. Hs 6:6; 13:4

21On that day I will respond Is 55:10; Zch 8:12; Mal 3:10-11 —

this is the Lord’s declaration.

I will respond to the sky,

and it will respond to the earth.

22The earth will respond to the grain, Jr 31:12; Jl 2:19

the new wine, and the oil,

and they will respond to Jezreel.

23I will sow her = Israel in the land for Myself, Jr 31:37

and I will have compassion Hs 1:6

on No Compassion;

I will say Rm 9:25 to Not My People: Hs 1:9

You are My people, Hs 2:1

and he will say, “You are My God.”
