"Return, backsliding children," says The LORD; "for I am a husband to you. I will take one of you from a city, and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

I will betroth you to me forever.Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

Yet you say, 'Why?' Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
