# Chapter 2
|
|
1. "In that day you will call your brothers Ammi--'My people.' And you will call your sisters Ruhamah--'The ones I love.'Charges against an Unfaithful Wife
|
|
|
|
2. "But now bring charges against Israel--your mother--
|
|
for she is no longer my wife,
|
|
and I am no longer her husband.
|
|
Tell her to remove the prostitute's makeup from her face
|
|
and the clothing that exposes her breasts.
|
|
|
|
3. Otherwise, I will strip her as naked
|
|
as she was on the day she was born.
|
|
I will leave her to die of thirst,
|
|
as in a dry and barren wilderness.
|
|
|
|
4. And I will not love her children,
|
|
for they were conceived in prostitution.
|
|
|
|
5. Their mother is a shameless prostitute
|
|
and became pregnant in a shameful way.
|
|
She said, 'I'll run after other lovers
|
|
and sell myself to them for food and water,
|
|
for clothing of wool and linen,
|
|
and for olive oil and drinks.'
|
|
|
|
6. "For this reason I will fence her in with thornbushes.
|
|
I will block her path with a wall
|
|
to make her lose her way.
|
|
|
|
7. When she runs after her lovers,
|
|
she won't be able to catch them.
|
|
She will search for them
|
|
but not find them.
|
|
Then she will think,
|
|
'I might as well return to my husband,
|
|
for I was better off with him than I am now.'
|
|
|
|
8. She doesn't realize it was I who gave her everything she has--
|
|
the grain, the new wine, the olive oil;
|
|
I even gave her silver and gold.
|
|
But she gave all my gifts to Baal.
|
|
|
|
9. "But now I will take back the ripened grain and new wine
|
|
I generously provided each harvest season.
|
|
I will take away the wool and linen clothing
|
|
I gave her to cover her nakedness.
|
|
|
|
10. I will strip her naked in public,
|
|
while all her lovers look on.
|
|
No one will be able
|
|
to rescue her from my hands.
|
|
|
|
11. I will put an end to her annual festivals,
|
|
her new moon celebrations, and her Sabbath days--
|
|
all her appointed festivals.
|
|
|
|
12. I will destroy her grapevines and fig trees,
|
|
things she claims her lovers gave her.
|
|
I will let them grow into tangled thickets,
|
|
where only wild animals will eat the fruit.
|
|
|
|
13. I will punish her for all those times
|
|
when she burned incense to her images of Baal,
|
|
when she put on her earrings and jewels
|
|
and went out to look for her lovers
|
|
but forgot all about me,"
|
|
says the LORD.The LORD's Love for Unfaithful Israel
|
|
|
|
14. "But then I will win her back once again.
|
|
I will lead her into the desert
|
|
and speak tenderly to her there.
|
|
|
|
15. I will return her vineyards to her
|
|
and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope.
|
|
She will give herself to me there,
|
|
as she did long ago when she was young,
|
|
when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt.
|
|
|
|
16. When that day comes," says the LORD,
|
|
"you will call me 'my husband'
|
|
instead of 'my master.'
|
|
|
|
17. O Israel, I will wipe the many names of Baal from your lips,
|
|
and you will never mention them again.
|
|
|
|
18. On that day I will make a covenant
|
|
with all the wild animals and the birds of the sky
|
|
and the animals that scurry along the ground
|
|
so they will not harm you.
|
|
I will remove all weapons of war from the land,
|
|
all swords and bows,
|
|
so you can live unafraid
|
|
in peace and safety.
|
|
|
|
19. I will make you my wife forever,
|
|
showing you righteousness and justice,
|
|
unfailing love and compassion.
|
|
|
|
20. I will be faithful to you and make you mine,
|
|
and you will finally know me as the LORD.
|
|
|
|
21. "In that day, I will answer,"
|
|
says the LORD.
|
|
"I will answer the sky as it pleads for clouds.
|
|
And the sky will answer the earth with rain.
|
|
|
|
22. Then the earth will answer the thirsty cries
|
|
of the grain, the grapevines, and the olive trees.
|
|
And they in turn will answer,
|
|
'Jezreel'--'God plants!'
|
|
|
|
23. At that time I will plant a crop of Israelites
|
|
and raise them for myself.
|
|
I will show love
|
|
to those I called 'Not loved.'
|
|
And to those I called 'Not my people,'
|
|
I will say, 'Now you are my people.'
|
|
And they will reply, 'You are our God!'"
