Hosea 2:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 And I will visit upon her the days of [a]Baal, wherein she burnt incense to them: and she decked herself with her [b]earrings and her jewels, and she followed her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord.
14 Therefore behold, I will [c]allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak friendly unto her.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley [d]of Achor for the door of hope, and she shall [e]sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
