19I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in Or with; also in verse 20 righteousness and justice, in Or with love and compassion.

20I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD .

21“In that day I will respond,” declares the LORD — “I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth;

22and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, and they will respond to Jezreel. Jezreel means God plants. 23I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one. Hebrew Lo-Ruhamah (see 1:6) ’ I will say to those called ‘Not my people, Hebrew Lo-Ammi (see 1:9) ’ ‘You are my people’; and they will say, ‘You are my God.’ ”
