Hosea 2:19-23
American Standard Version
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know Jehovah.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, saith Jehovah, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth; 22 and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall answer [a]Jezreel. 23 And I will sow her unto me in the [b]earth; and I will have mercy upon [c]her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to [d]them that were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
