"Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her.

"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, Bring her into the wilderness And speak kindly to her.

"But then I will win her back once again. I will lead her out into the desert and speak tenderly to her there.

"And now, here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to start all over again. I'm taking her back out into the wilderness where we had our first date, and I'll court her.

For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her.

Therefore, I will now allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, Will bring her into the wilderness, And speak comfort to her.

However, in the future I will allure her; ¹  I will lead ²  her back into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
