RF HOS 2:1 "Call to your brothers, 'My People,'—and to your sisters who have been pitied;
RF HOS 2:2 Plead for your Mother—plead; for she is not my wife! and I am not her husband! Strip her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts,
RF HOS 2:3 for fear I should strip her naked, and bare, like the day she was born, and banish her to the desert, where the land is waterless, and kill her with thirst;
RF HOS 2:4 for I will not pity her children,—for they are children of whoredoms.
RF HOS 2:5 "For their Mother prostituted herself, she conceived them shamefully, for she said "I will go after my paramours who gave me bread, and water, wool and flax, oil, and drinks.'
RF HOS 2:6 Therefore I will fence up her path with thorns, and weave a hedge, so that she cannot find her beaten path.
RF HOS 2:7 And when she follows her paramours she shall not overtake them, and when seeking them she shall not find. Then she may say, 'I will go and return to my former man, for it was better for me than now.'
RF HOS 2:8 "But she did not recognize that it was I who gave Her the corn, and wine, and oil, and silver, and increased her gold, which they used for Bal.
RF HOS 2:9 "I will consequently come home, and take away my corn at its harvest, and my wine at its maturity, and shear my wool, and my flax, that would have covered her nakedness.
RF HOS 2:10 And then expose her shame to the eyes of her paramours, and none will rescue her from my hands.
RF HOS 2:11 "I will also deprive her of all her pleasant festivals, her New Moons, and Sabbaths, and all her Assemblies.
RF HOS 2:12 And take away her vines, and figs that she said, 'These are mine; my paramours gave me them;' and make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
RF HOS 2:13 "I will also punish her for the Balim days, on which she burnt incense to them, on which she adorned herself with rings, and necklaces, and went after her paramours, and forgot me," says the EVER-LIVING.
RF HOS 2:14 "But, afterwards, I will entreat her and lead her out into the country and speak to her heart.
RF HOS 2:15 And give her a vineyard there, and the Vale of Sorrow as an opening to Hope, and she shall sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the times of her girlhood, when she came from Mitzer.
RF HOS 2:16 And then she will call Me her Husband, and no longer her Master,
RF HOS 2:17 and I will take the names of her 'Masters,' from her mouth and she will no longer remember their names.
RF HOS 2:18 I will also at that time make a new contract for her, with the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the skies, and the reptiles of the ground, when I will break from the earth the bow, sword, and war, and men shall dwell in safety.
RF HOS 2:19 I will also wed you to Myself for ever,—I will wed you to Myself in Righteousness and Justice, and Gentleness, and Mercy,
RF HOS 2:20 and I will wed you to Myself in Truth and Knowledge of the EVER-LIVING.
RF HOS 2:21 The Anthem of God and his Creation.
"And then I will sing," says the Life,
I will sing to the skies,
They also shall sing to the earth;
RF HOS 2:22 And the Earth herself sing to the Corn,
And the Vine, and the Olive,
And they, also, sing to the Harvest.
RF HOS 2:23 "I will plant her for me in the Land,
And have mercy on her who had none;
Tho' I said 'Not My People,'
My People you are;
And she reply, 'You are My God.'"
