13 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 Yahweh.
14 “Therefore behold, I will allure her,
    and bring her into the wilderness,
    and speak tenderly to her.
15 I will give her vineyards from there,
    and the valley of Achor for a door of hope;
and she will respond there,
    as in the days of her youth,
    and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
