Context Reading
12I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me,’and I will make them a forest,and the animals of the field shall eat them. 13I will visit on her the days of the Baals,to which she burned incensewhen she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels,and went after her loversand forgot me,” says Yahweh. 14“Therefore behold, I will allure her,and bring her into the wilderness,and speak tenderly to her. 15I will give her vineyards from there,and the valley of Achor for a door of hope;and she will respond thereas in the days of her youth,and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. 16It will be in that day,” says Yahweh,“that you will call me ‘my husband,’and no longer call me ‘my master.’
