13 I will punish her for the days

she burned incense to the Baals;

she decked herself with rings and jewelry,

and went after her lovers,

but me she forgot,”

declares the Lord.

14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her;

I will lead her into the wilderness

and speak tenderly to her.

13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them,

And she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels,

And she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord.

14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her,

And bring her into the wilderness,

And speak comfortably unto her.

13 I will punish her for all those times

when she burned incense to her images of Baal,

when she put on her earrings and jewels

and went out to look for her lovers

but forgot all about me,”

says the Lord.

14 “But then I will win her back once again.

I will lead her into the desert

and speak tenderly to her there.

13 I will punish her

For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense.

She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry,

And went after her lovers;

But Me she forgot,” says the Lord.

14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,

Will bring her into the wilderness,

And speak comfort to her.

13 I will punish her for all the times

she burned incense to the Baals.

She put on her rings and jewelry

and went chasing after her lovers,

but she forgot me!”

says the Lord.

14 “So I am going to attract her;

I will lead her into the desert

and speak tenderly to her.

13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, unto which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith Jehovah.

14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baals, wherein she burned incense to them, and decked herself with her rings and jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith Jehovah.

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

13 I will punish her for all the times she burned incense 

as an offering to other gods—the Baals. 

She put on her rings and jewelry, 

and she chased after her lovers. 

She forgot me,” declares the Lord. 

14 “That is why I’m going to win her back. 

I will lead her into the desert. 

I will speak tenderly to her. 

13 And I will punish her for the days of the Baals

when she burned incense to them,

put on her rings and jewelry,

and went after her lovers,

but forgot Me.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

14 Therefore, I am going to persuade her,

lead her to the wilderness,

and speak tenderly to her.

13 I will punish her for the festival days of the Baals,

when she offered incense to them

and decked herself with her ring and jewelry,

and went after her lovers,

and forgot me, says the Lord.

14 Therefore, I will now allure her,

and bring her into the wilderness,

and speak tenderly to her.

13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals,

to whom she burns incense,

and she decked herself with her ornamental ring and jewelry,

and she went after her lovers, and forgot me

—a declaration of Yahweh.

14 Therefore, Look! I am going to allure her

and bring her into the desert,

and I will speak tenderly to her.

13 The Lord announces,

“Israel burned incense to the gods

that were named after Baal.

I will punish her

for all of the times she did that.

She decorated herself with rings and jewelry.

Then she went after her lovers.

But she forgot all about me.

14 “So now I am going to draw her back to me.

I will lead her into the desert.

There I will speak tenderly to her.

13 “I will punish her for the days of the Baals

When she used to offer sacrifices to them

And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry,

And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me,” declares the Lord.

14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,

Bring her into the wilderness

And speak kindly to her.
