9:14 Give them, O Lord –
what will you give them?
Give them wombs that miscarry,
and breasts that cannot nurse! 1
12:5 As for the Lord God Almighty,
the Lord is the name by which he is remembered! 2
2:8 Yet 3 until now 4 she has refused to acknowledge 5 that I 6 was the one
who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil;
and that it was I who 7 lavished on her the silver and gold –
which they 8 used in worshiping Baal! 9
11:11 They will return in fear and trembling 10
like birds from Egypt,
like doves from Assyria,
and I will settle them in their homes,” declares the Lord.
14:2 Return to the Lord and repent! 11
Say to him: “Completely 12 forgive our iniquity;
accept 13 our penitential prayer, 14
that we may offer the praise of our lips as sacrificial bulls. 15
2:15 From there I will give back her vineyards to her,
and turn the “Valley of Trouble” 16 into an “Opportunity 17 for Hope.”
There she will sing as she did when she was young, 18
when 19 she came up from the land of Egypt.
