⁵ For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.

¹⁹ And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.

²⁰ I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.

¹⁷ The Lord who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, I am the Lord your God, who is teaching you for your profit, guiding you by the way in which you are to go.

²⁵ Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

²⁶ So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,

²⁷ And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

²⁹ He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

⁸ Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.

² For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.

³ But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.

²⁹ Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

³⁰ If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

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;

¹⁵ And at the sounding of the seventh angel there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will have rule for ever and ever.

³² This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.

³² He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:

⁹ And the Lord will be King over all the earth: in that day there will be one Lord and his name one.

¹⁰ O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;

¹¹ So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.

¹² And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.

¹³ In the great house the king's daughter is all shining: her clothing is worked with gold.

¹⁴ She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.

¹⁵ With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house.

¹⁶ Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.

¹⁷ I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.
