13. I will punish her for all the timesshe burned incense to the Baals.She put on her rings and jewelry.Then she went chasing after her lovers.But she has forgotten me!”says the Lord.
14. “So I am going to attract her.I will lead her into the desertand speak tenderly to her.
15. Then I will give her back her vineyards.And I will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.Then she will respond as when she was young,as when she came out of Egypt.”
16. The Lord says, “Then she will call me ‘my husband.’She will no longer call me ‘my baal.’
17. I will never let her say the names of Baal again.Then people won’t use their names anymore.
