Hosea

Hosea 2:14–15

¹⁴“Therefore, behold, I will allure her

and lead her to the wilderness,

and speak to her tenderly.

¹⁵There I will give back her vineyards

and make the Valley of Achor^d

into a gateway of hope.

There she will respond as she did

in the days of her youth,

as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
