Your real husband is the one who made you.
    His name is the Lord All-Powerful.
The Holy One of Israel is your Protector,[a]
    and he is the God of all the earth!

“Like a woman whose husband has left her,
    you were very sad.
    You were like a young wife left all alone.
But the Lord has called you back to him.”
    This is what your God says.
“For a short time I turned away from you,
    but with all my love I will welcome you again.
