Context of Hosea 2:10

8“For she (Israel) has not noticed nor understood nor realized that it was I [the Lord God] who gave her the grain and the new wine and the oil, And lavished on her silver and gold, Which they used for Baal and made into his image. 9Therefore, I will return and take back My grain at harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax Given to cover her nakedness. And now I will uncover her lewdness and shame In the sight of her lovers, And no one will rescue her from My hand. 11I will also put an end to all her rejoicing, Her feasts, her New Moons, her Sabbaths, And all her festivals. 12I will destroy her vines and her fig trees Of which she has said, ‘These are my wages Which my lovers have given me.’ And I will make them a forest, And the animals of the open country will devour them.
