Hosea 2:14–23 (ESV)

14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

  • Wooing Israel in the wilderness (Hosea 2:14–15)

  • Israel returns to covenant relationship (Hosea 2:16–17)

  • The Lord vows to restore creation and Israel (Hosea 2:18–20)

  • The Lord vows to reconcile creation and Israel (Hosea 2:21–22)

  • Renaming of children (Hosea 2:23)
