21 On that day I will answer,
    declares the Lord;
I will answer the heavens,
    and they will answer the earth.
22 The earth will answer the grain,
    the wine, and the oil;
    and they will answer Jezreel.
23 Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth.
    I will have mercy upon Lo-Ruhamah,
and I will say to Lo-Ammi, “You are My people,”
    and they will say, “You are my God.”

    the new wine and the olive oil,(B)
    and they will respond to Jezreel.[a](C)
23 I will plant(D) her for myself in the land;
    I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.[b](E)
I will say to those called ‘Not my people,[c]’ ‘You are my people’;(F)
    and they will say, ‘You are my God.(G)’”
