Summary: God calls his people back with love, promising to bind them to himself in justice, mercy, and faithfulness, just as in their earliest days.
Thus says the LORD: I will lead her into the desert and speak to her heart. She shall respond there as in the days of her youth, when she came up from the land of Egypt.
I will espouse you to me forever: I will espouse you in right and in justice, in love and in mercy; I will espouse you in fidelity, and you shall know the LORD.
