21–23“On the very same day, I’ll answer”—this is God’s Message—

“I’ll answer the sky, sky will answer earth,

Earth will answer grain and wine and olive oil,

and they’ll all answer Jezreel.

I’ll plant her in the good earth.

I’ll have mercy on No-Mercy.

I’ll say to Nobody, ‘You’re my dear Somebody,’

and he’ll say ‘You’re my God!’ ”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“And in that day I will answer, declares the Lord,

I will answer the heavens,

and they shall answer the earth,

and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,

and they shall answer Jezreel,

and I will sow her for myself in the land.

And I will have mercy on No Mercy,

and I will say to Not My People, ‘You are my people’;

and he shall say, ‘You are my God.’ ”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“In that day I will respond,”

declares the Lord—

“I will respond to the skies,

and they will respond to the earth;

and the earth will respond to the grain,

the new wine and the olive oil,

and they will respond to Jezreel.

I will plant her for myself in the land;

I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.’

I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’;

and they will say, ‘You are my God.’ ”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

On that day I will respond—

this is the Lord’s declaration.

I will respond to the sky,

and it will respond to the earth.

The earth will respond to the grain,

the new wine, and the fresh oil,

and they will respond to Jezreel.

I will sow her in the land for myself,

and I will have compassion

on Lo-ruhamah;

I will say to Lo-ammi:

You are my people,

and he will say, “You are my God.”

NLTNew Living Translation

“In that day, I will answer,”

says the Lord.

“I will answer the sky as it pleads for clouds.

And the sky will answer the earth with rain.

Then the earth will answer the thirsty cries

of the grain, the grapevines, and the olive trees.

And they in turn will answer,

‘Jezreel’—‘God plants!’

At that time I will plant a crop of Israelites

and raise them for myself.

I will show love

to those I called ‘Not loved.’

And to those I called ‘Not my people,’

I will say, ‘Now you are my people.’

And they will reply, ‘You are our God!’ ”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

On that day I will answer, declares Yahweh,

I will answer the heavens,

and they will answer the earth.

And the earth will answer

the grain, the wine, and the oil,

and they will answer Jezreel.

I will sow her for myself in the land;

I will have pity on Lo-ruhama;

I will say to Lo-ammi,

“You are my people,”

and he himself will say, “you are my God.”

KJV 1900King James Version

And it shall come to pass in that day,

I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens,

And they shall hear the earth;

And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil;

And they shall hear Jezreel.

And I will sow her unto me in the earth;

And I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy;

And I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people;

And they shall say, Thou art my God.
