The Lord's Mercy on Israel

Hosea 2

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.

16 And it shall be in that time, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me My Husband, and shalt no longer call me Baali. 17 For I will take away the names of Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no longer be remembered by their name. 18 And in that time I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of the heaven and with the serpents of the earth; and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle of the earth and will cause them to sleep safely. 19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness and in judgment and in mercy. 20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faith: and thou shalt know the LORD.

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will respond, saith the LORD, I will respond to the heavens, and they shall respond to the earth; 22 and the earth shall respond to the wheat and the wine and the oil; and they shall respond to Jezreel. 23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon Loruhamah, {her that had not obtained mercy}, and I will say to Loammi, {those who were not my people}, Thou art my people; and he shall say, Thou art my God.
