It is often used as an interjection. I will hedge up your way with thorns, ⁷She will follow after her lovers, ⁸For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, ⁹Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, ¹⁰Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, ¹¹I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: ¹²I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, ¹³I will visit on her the days of the Baals, ¹⁴“Therefore behold, I will allure her, ¹⁵I will give her vineyards from there, ¹⁶It will be in that day,” says Yahweh, ¹⁷For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, ¹⁸In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, ¹⁹I will betroth you to me forever. ²⁰I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; ²¹It will happen in that day, that I will respond,” says Yahweh. ²²and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; ²³I will sow her to me in the earth; ¹“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’2:1 ‘Ammi’ in Hebrew ²Contend with your mother! ³lest I strip her naked, ⁴Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy, ⁵For their mother has played the prostitute. ⁶Therefore behold,2:6 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at.
