14 Israel, I, the Lord,will lure you into the desertand speak gently to you.
15 I will return your vineyards,and then Trouble Valleywill become Hopeful Valley.You will say “Yes” to meas you did in your youth,when leaving Egypt.
16 I promise that from that day on, you will call me your husband instead of your master.
17 I will no longer even let you mention the names of those pagan gods that you called “Master”.
18 And I will agree to let you live in peace—you will no longer be attacked by wild animals and birds or by weapons of war.
19 I will accept you as my wife for ever, and instead of a bride price I will give you justice, fairness, love, kindness,
20 and faithfulness. Then you will truly know who I am.
