¹ `Say ye to your brethren -- Ammi, And to your sisters -- Ruhamah.

²³ And I have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, My people thou `art', and it saith, My God!'

¹⁰ who `were' once not a people, and `are' now the people of God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness.

¹³ who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did `it' in unbelief,

¹ Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

³⁰ for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these:

³¹ so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness;

⁹ And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It doth call in My name, and I answer it, I have said, `My people it `is',' And it saith, `Jehovah `is' my God!'

⁹ and He saith, `Call his name Lo-Ammi, for ye `are' not My people, and I am not for you;

¹¹ and gathered have been the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel together, and they have appointed to themselves one head, and have gone up from the land, for great `is' the day of Jezreel.

²⁷ And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.

²⁸ And ye have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I -- I am to you for God.

²⁰ So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.

³⁸ and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;

³³ For this `is' the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people.

⁵ `And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth `is' Mine;

⁶ and ye -- ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these `are' the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.'
