::mercy:: the language of love

and in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me "My Husband," and no longer will you call me "My Baal."

and i will betroth you to me forever. i will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. i will betroth you to me in faithfulness. and you shall know the Lord.

and in that day i will answer, declares the Lord,
i will answer the heavens;
and they shall answer the earth,
and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and they shall answer Jezreel,
and i will sow her for myself in the land.
and i will have mercy on No Mercy,
and i will say to Not My People, "you are my people";
and he shall say, "You are my God."

hosea 2:16, 19-23
