⁶ I will say to the north, Give them up; and to the south, Do not keep them back; send back my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;

¹⁴ Come back, O children who are turned away, says the Lord; for I am a husband to you, and I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and will make you come to Zion;

¹⁷ For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

¹⁸ And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.

³ Making them come together out of all the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

⁷ In that time an offering will be made to the Lord of armies from a people tall and smooth, causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers, an offering taken to the place of the name of the Lord of armies, even Mount Zion.

¹⁸ In those days the family of Judah will go with the family of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north into the land which I gave for a heritage to your fathers.

¹⁹ But I said, How am I to put you among the children, and give you a desired land, a heritage of glory among the armies of the nations? and I said, You are to say to me, My father; and not be turned away from me.

¹⁰ But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God

¹¹ And the children of Israel and the children of Judah will come together and take for themselves one head, and will go up from the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.

⁷ And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

⁸ That is, it is not the children of the flesh, but the children of God's undertaking, who are named as the seed.

²⁵ As he says in Hosea, They will be named my people who were not my people, and she will be loved who was not loved.

²⁶ And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God.

²⁶ Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.

²⁸ There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

²⁹ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.
