I [am] going to allure her and bring her [into] the desert, and {I will speak tenderly to her}. 15 From there I will give her her vineyards, and the Valley of Achor as a doorway of hope. And there she will respond, as [in] the days of her youth, just as [in] the day of her coming out of the land of Egypt.
