In the first part of chapter 2, God lays out the punishment he has planned for an unfaithful Israel. In the second half, God (not Israel) takes action to restore the broken relationship. We see in these verses a compassionate and merciful God lovingly restoring His relationship with His people. This relationship is in the image of a loving marriage full of righteousness, justice, love, compassion, and faithfulness. He restores His covenant with Israel and they respond, "You are my God." The is a great illustration of how God pursues us. Instead of allowing us to face the consequence of our sin, death, He took action and sent us a Savior. All we have to do is acknowledge Him and say, "You are my God." How awesome is the love of God!
