13 And (A)I will punish her for (B)the feast days of the Baals
    when she burned offerings to them
and (C)adorned herself with her ring and jewelry,
    and went after her lovers
    and forgot me, declares the Lord.

The Lord's Mercy on Israel

14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
    and (D)bring her into the wilderness,
    and (E)speak tenderly to her.
15 And there I will give her her vineyards
    and make the Valley of Achor[a] a door of hope.
And there she shall answer (F)as in the days of her youth,
    as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
