Verse 20 is found in chapter 2 of Hosea. Israel will again call the Lord "my husband" and leave behind the language associated with Baal. God promises to establish again a relationship resembling a marital covenant, characterized by righteousness, mercy, compassion, faithfulness, and knowledge of God. Restoration is not reduced to material prosperity: it consists of rebuilding the faithfulness that was destroyed by idolatry.
