14 ¶ Therefore, behold, I will induce her and bring her into the wilderness and speak unto her heart.

15 And I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall sing there as in the days of her youth and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

There she will respond[b](C) as in the days of her youth,(D)
    as in the day she came up out of Egypt.(E)

    “you will call me ‘my husband’;(F)
    you will no longer call me ‘my master.[c]
