13 (2:15) And I will visit upon her the yamim of Ba’alim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her ring and her jewelry, and she went after her lovers, and forgot Me, saith Hashem.

14 (2:16) Therefore, hinei, I will allure her, and bring her into the midbar, and speak to her lev.

15 (2:17) And there I will give her her kramim (vineyards), and the Emek Achor (Valley of Trouble) I will make a petach tikvah (door of hope); and she shall sing there, as in the yamim of her youth, and as in the yom when she came up out of Eretz Mitzrayim.

13 I will punish her for the days
    she burned incense(A) to the Baals;(B)
she decked herself with rings and jewelry,(C)
    and went after her lovers,(D)
    but me she forgot,(E)
declares the Lord.(F)

14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her;
    I will lead her into the wilderness(G)
    and speak tenderly to her.
15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
    and will make the Valley of Achor[a](H) a door of hope.
There she will respond[b](I) as in the days of her youth,(J)
    as in the day she came up out of Egypt.(K)
