- 1Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.וְֽ֠הָיָה מִסְפַּ֤ר בְּנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ כְּח֣וֹל הַיָּ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא יִמַּ֖ד וְלֹ֣א יִסָּפֵ֑ר וְֽ֠הָיָה בִּמְק֞וֹם אֲשֶׁר יֵאָמֵ֤ר לֹֽא עַמִּ֣י אַתֶּ֔ם יֵאָמֵ֥ר בְּנֵ֥י אֵֽל חָֽי
- 2Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;וְ֠נִקְבְּצוּ בְּנֵֽי יְהוּדָ֤ה וּבְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יַחְדָּ֔ו וְשָׂמ֥וּ רֹ֥אשׁ אֶחָ֖ד וְעָל֣וּ מִן הָאָ֑רֶץ כִּ֥י גָד֖וֹל י֥וֹם יִזְרְעֶֽאל
- 3Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.אִמְר֥וּ לַאֲחֵיכֶ֖ם עַמִּ֑י וְלַאֲחֽוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם רֻחָֽמָה
- 4And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.רִ֤יבוּ בְאִמְּכֶם֙ רִ֔יבוּ כִּֽי הִיא֙ לֹ֣א אִשְׁתִּ֔י וְאָנֹכִ֖י לֹ֣א אִישָׁ֑הּ וְתָסֵ֤ר זְנוּנֶ֨יהָ֙ מִפָּנֶ֔יה וְנַאֲפוּפֶ֖יהָ מִבֵּ֥ין שָׁדֶֽיהָ
- 5For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.פֶּן אַפְשִׁיטֶ֣נָּה עֲרֻמָּ֔ה וְהִ֨צַּגְתִּ֔יהָ כְּי֖וֹם הִוָּֽלְדָ֑הּ וְשַׂמְתִּ֣יהָ כַמִּדְבָּ֗ר וְשַׁתִּ֨הָ֙ כְּאֶ֣רֶץ צִיָּ֔ה וַהֲמִתִּ֖יהָ בַּצָּמָֽא
- 6Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.וְאֶת בָּנֶ֖יהָ לֹ֣א אֲרַחֵ֑ם כִּֽי בְנֵ֥י זְנוּנִ֖ים הֵֽמָּה
- 7And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.כִּ֤י זָֽנְתָה֙ אִמָּ֔ם הֹבִ֖ישָׁה הֽוֹרָתָ֑ם כִּ֣י אָמְרָ֗ה אֵלְכָ֞ה אַחֲרֵ֤י מְאַהֲבַי֙ נֹתְנֵ֤י לַחְמִי֙ וּמֵימַ֔י צַמְרִ֣י וּפִשְׁתִּ֔י שַׁמְנִ֖י וְשִׁקּוּיָֽי
- 8For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.לָכֵ֛ן הִנְנִי שָׂ֥ךְ אֶת דַּרְכֵּ֖ךְ בַּסִּירִ֑ים וְגָֽדַרְתִּי֙ אֶת גְּדֵרָ֔הּ וּנְתִיבוֹתֶ֖יהָ לֹ֥א תִמְצָֽא
- 9Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.וְרִדְּפָ֤ה אֶת מְאַהֲבֶ֨יהָ֙ וְלֹֽא תַשִּׂ֣יג אֹתָ֔ם וּבִקְשָׁ֖תַם וְלֹ֣א תִמְצָ֑א וְאָמְרָ֗ה אֵלְכָ֤ה וְאָשׁ֨וּבָה֙ אֶל אִישִׁ֣י הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן כִּ֣י ט֥וֹב אָ֖ז מֵעָֽתָּה
- 10And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.וְהִיא֙ לֹ֣א יָֽדְעָ֔ה כִּ֤י אָֽנֹכִי֙ נָתַ֣תִּי הַדָּגָ֖ן וְהַתִּיר֣וֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָ֑ר וְכֶ֨סֶף הִרְבֵּ֥יתִי וְזָהָ֖ב עָשׂ֥וּ לַבָּֽעַל
- 11I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.לָכֵ֣ן אָשׁ֔וּב וְלָקַחְתִּ֤י דְגָנִי֙ בְּעִתּ֔וֹ וְתִירוֹשִׁ֖י בְּמֽוֹעֲד֑וֹ וְהִצַּלְתִּי֙ צַמְרִ֣י וּפִשְׁתִּ֔י לְכַסּ֖וֹת אֶת עֶרְוָתָֽהּ
- 12And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.וְעַתָּ֛ה אֲגַלֶּ֥ה אֶת נַבְלֻתָ֖הּ לְעֵינֵ֣י מְאַהֲבֶ֑יהָ וְאִ֖ישׁ לֹֽא יַצִּילֶ֥נָּה מִיָּדִֽי
- 13And 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.וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי֙ כָּל מְשׂוֹשָׂ֔הּ חַגָּ֖הּ חָדְשָׁ֣הּ וְשַׁבַּתָּ֑הּ וְכֹ֖ל מוֹעֲדָֽהּ
- 14Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִ֗י גַּפְנָהּ֙ וּתְאֵ֣נָתָ֔הּ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָמְרָ֗ה אֶתְנָ֥ה הֵ֨מָּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽתְנוּ מְאַֽהֲבָ֑י וְשַׂמְתִּ֣ים לְיַ֔עַר וַאֲכָלָ֖תַם חַיַּ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶֽה
- 15And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.וּפָקַדְתִּ֣י עָלֶ֗יהָ אֶת יְמֵ֤י הַבְּעָלִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּקְטִ֣יר וַתַּ֤עַד נִזְמָהּ֙ וְחֶלְיָתָ֔הּ וַתֵּ֖לֶךְ אַחֲרֵ֣י מְאַהֲבֶ֑יהָ וְאֹתִ֥י שָׁכְחָ֖ה נְאֻם יְהוָֽה
- 16And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.לָכֵ֗ן הִנֵּ֤ה אָֽנֹכִי֙ מְפַתֶּ֔יהָ וְהֹֽלַכְתִּ֖יהָ הַמִּדְבָּ֑ר וְדִבַּרְתִּ֖י עַל לִבָּֽהּ
- 17For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.וְנָתַ֨תִּי אֶת כְּרָמֶ֨יהָ֙ מִשָּׁ֔ם וְאֶת עֵ֥מֶק עָכ֖וֹר לְפֶ֣תַח תִּקְוָ֑ה וְעָ֤נְתָה שָּׁ֨מָּה֙ כִּימֵ֣י נְעוּרֶ֔יהָ וִּכְי֖וֹם עֲלֹתָ֥הּ מֵאֶֽרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם
- 18And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.וְהָיָ֤ה בַיּוֹם הַהוּא֙ נְאֻם יְהוָ֔ה תִּקְרְאִ֖י אִישִׁ֑י וְלֹֽא תִקְרְאִי ע֖וֹד בַּעְלִֽי
- 19And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.וַהֲסִרֹתִ֛י אֶת שְׁמ֥וֹת הַבְּעָלִ֖ים מִפִּ֑יהָ וְלֹֽא יִזָּכְר֥וּ ע֖וֹד בִּשְׁמָֽם
- 20I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.וְכָרַתִּ֨י בְּרִית֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא עִם חַיַּ֤ת הַשָּׂדֶה֙ וְעִם ע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְרֶ֖מֶשׂ הָֽאֲדָמָ֑ה וְקֶ֨שֶׁת וְחֶ֤רֶב וּמִלְחָמָה֙ אֶשְׁבּ֣וֹר מִן הָאָ֔רֶץ וְהִשְׁכַּבְתִּ֖ים לָבֶֽטַח
- 21And 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;וְאֵרַשְׂתִּ֥יךְ לְעוֹלָ֑ם וְאֵרַשְׂתִּ֥יךְ בְּצֶ֣דֶק וּבְמִשְׁפָּ֔ט וּבְחֶ֖סֶד וּֽבְרַחֲמִֽים
- 22And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.וְאֵרַשְׂתִּ֥יךְ בֶּאֱמוּנָ֑ה וְיָדַ֖עַתְּ אֶת יְהוָֽה
- 23And 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.וְהָיָ֣ה בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא אֶֽעֱנֶה֙ נְאֻם יְהוָ֔ה אֶעֱנֶ֖ה אֶת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְהֵ֖ם יַעֲנ֥וּ אֶת הָאָֽרֶץ

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
