Hosea 2:13-15

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹³I will punish her for the festival days of the Baals,
    when she offered incense to them
and decked herself with her ring and jewellery,
    and went after her lovers,
    and forgot me, says the Lord.

¹⁴Therefore, I will now persuade her,
    and bring her into the wilderness,
    and speak tenderly to her.
¹⁵From there I will give her her vineyards,
    and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she shall respond as in the days of her youth,
    as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
