(49) Hos.2:13-19
"13 Daarom, kyk, Ek sal haar lok en haar in die woestyn lei en na haar hart spreek. 14 Dan sal Ek haar daarvandaan haar wingerde gee en die dal Agor tot 'n deur van hoop, en daar sal sy antwoord gee soos in die dae van haar jeug en soos die dag toe sy uit Egipteland opgetrek het. 15 En in dié dag, spreek die HERE, sal jy My noem: My man; en jy sal my nie meer noem: My Baäl nie. 16 Dan verwyder Ek die name van die Baäls uit haar mond, sodat hulle by hul naam nie meer genoem sal word nie. 17 Verder sluit Ek in dié dag vir hulle 'n verbond met die wilde diere van die veld en met die voëls van die hemel en die kruipende diere van die aarde; ja, boog en swaard en oorlog sal Ek verbreek uit die land, en Ek sal hulle in veiligheid laat rus. 18 En Ek sal My met jou verloof tot in ewigheid en My met jou verloof in geregtigheid en in reg en in goedertierenheid en in ontferming. 19 En Ek sal My met jou verloof in trou; dan sal jy die HERE ken."
"14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.
And there I will give her her vineyards
and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth,
as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
And in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call me ‘My Baal.’ For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more. And I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground. And I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land, and I will make you lie down in safety. And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the Lord. "
