Love of a jealous kind, 7.

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 trial 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 I will make you lie down in safety.

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.

and in that day

I will answer
