1 Yet the masapar (number) of the ban (son) of Yashar-Al (Israel) will be as the chawal (sand) of the yam (sea/waters), which can't be madad (measured) nor sapar (book); and it will come to pass that, in the maqawam (place) where it was amar (said) to them, ‘You are not my im (nation / people),’ they will be amar (said) ‘ban (son) of the chay (life) Al.’
2 The ban (son) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) and the ban (son) of Yashar-Al (Israel) will be qabatz (gathered) yachad (together), and they will shawam (place / establish / appoint) themselves achad (one) raash (head), and will ilah (go up / offer) up from the aratz (Earth/land); for gadawal (very great/important/mighty) will be the yawam (day) of Yazaraial (Jezreel).
3 “Amar (said) to your brothers, ‘My im (nation / people)!’ And to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’
4 Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her shawam (place / establish / appoint) away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
5 Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
6 Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;
7 For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who shawam (place / establish / appoint) me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
8 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your zanawan (way) with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't racham (show mercy / love) her zanawan (way).
9 She will yalak (follow) after her lovers, but she won't overtake them; and she will seek them, but won't find them. Then she will amar (said), ‘I will yalak (go) and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than kay (surely).’
10 For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Bail (Baal).
11 Therefore I will nashag (take) shawab (turn) my grain in its raashawan (time), and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
12 Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will nathan (give) her out of my hand.
13 I will also cause all her celebrations to shawab (turn back / repent): her mawaid (Feast/Holy Day), her new moons, her Shabath (Sabbaths), and all her solemn mawaid (Feast/Holy Day).
14 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,’ and the animals of the field shall eat them.
15 I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me,” says Yahawah ().
16 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and shamam (bring) her into the wilderness, and amar (said) tenderly to her.
17 I will paqad (visit) her vineyards from there, and the valley of Ikawar (Achor) for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the yamay (days) of her youth, and as in the yawam (day) when she yalak (came) up out of the land of Matzarayam (Egypt).
18 It will be in that day,” dabar (word / matter) Yahawah (), “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’
19 For I will nathan (give) away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be ilah (go up / offer) by name.
20 In that yawam (day) I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will hayah (came to pass) the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
21 I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
22 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahawah ().
23 It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says Yahawah (), “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;
