Hosea 2:16 in context

Hosea 2:13–19

13

I will visit on her the days of the Baals,

to which she burned incense

when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels,

and went after her lovers

and forgot me,” says the LORD.

14

“Therefore behold, I will allure her,

and bring her into the wilderness,

and speak tenderly to her.

15

I will give her vineyards from there,

and the valley of Achor for a door of hope;

and she will respond there

as in the days of her youth,

and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16
Selected verse

It will be in that day,” says the LORD,

“that you will call me ‘my husband,’

and no longer call me ‘my master.’

17

For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth,

and they will no longer be mentioned by name.

18

In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field,

and with the birds of the sky,

and with the creeping things of the ground.

I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land,

and will make them lie down safely.

19

I will betroth you to me forever.

Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
