¹⁹ And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

²⁰ I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know Jehovah.

¹⁷ Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

²⁷ that he might present the church to himself a glorious `church', not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is made full.

⁸ Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine.

² For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you `as' a pure virgin to Christ.

³ But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.

²⁹ Or is God `the God' of Jews only? is he not `the God' of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also:

³⁰ if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

¹⁴ Return, O backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become `the kingdom' of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever.

³² He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

⁹ And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one.

¹⁰ Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house:

¹¹ So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

¹² And the daughter of Tyre `shall be there' with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

¹³ The king's daughter within `the palace' is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

¹⁴ She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

¹⁵ With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king's palace.

¹⁶ Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

¹⁷ I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever. Psalm 46 For the Chief Musician. `A Psalm' of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song.
