Hosea 2:21

19 So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion and compassion.

20 And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”

“On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD— “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.

22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.

23 And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
