Hosea 2:6-13
6Therefore, behold, I will 1hedge up 2her way with 3thorns, And I will build 4a wall against her so that she cannot find her 5paths.7She will 6pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; And she will seek them, but will not find them. Then she will say, ‘7I will go back to my 8first husband, For it was 9better for me then than now!’
8“For she does 10not know that it was 11I who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil, And lavished on her silver and gold, Which they 12used for Baal.9Therefore, I will 13take back My grain at 14harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax Given to cover her nakedness.10And then I will 15uncover her lewdness In the sight of her lovers, And no one will rescue her out of My hand.11I will also 16put an end to all her gaiety, Her 17feasts, her 18new moons, her sabbaths And all her festal assemblies.12I will 19destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, ‘These are my wages Which my lovers have given me.’ And I will 20make them a forest, And the 21beasts of the field will devour them.13I will punish her for the 22days of the Baals When she used to 2324offer sacrifices to them And 25adorn herself with her 26earrings and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she 27forgot Me,” declares the Lord.
