and to your sisters, Ruhamah. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts; <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> For fear that I may take away her robe from her, making her uncovered as in the day of her birth; making her like a waste place and a dry land, causing her death through need of water. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali; <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth; <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel; <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height = 100;\n<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_320x100_more_for_mobile --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>If you know someone that needs to give their heart to Jesus, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/26\/bill-winstons-prayer-of-salvation-the-sinners-prayer\/\" title=\"great video of the Salvation Prayer\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a great video of the Salvation Prayer (Sinner&#8217;s Prayer).<\/a><\/strong><\/br><\/br>If you (or anyone you know) needs prayer, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/24-hour-toll-free-prayer-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a list of toll free 24 hour prayer lines.<\/a><\/strong> <\/br><br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/salvation\/faqs-about-salvation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions about Salvation.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/><\/br>To access different versions of the Bible, click the following links: <br \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=king+james+version\" target=\"_blank\">King James Version (KJV), <\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=American+Standard+Version\" target=\"_blank\">American Standard Version (ASV), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=World+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">World English Bible (WEB), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Darby+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Darby English Bible (DARBY), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Bible+in+Basic+English\" target=\"_blank\">Bible in Basic English (BBE), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Webster+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Webster&#8217;s Bible (WBT), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Young+Literal+Translation\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s Literal Translation (YLT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 Say to your brothers, Ammi;
