Hosea 2:6-23

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.

14“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, 28Bring her into the wilderness And speak 29kindly to her.15Then I will give her her 30vineyards from there, And 31the valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will 3233sing there as in the days of her youth, As in the 34day when she came up from the land of Egypt.16It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord, “That you will call Me 3536Ishi And will no longer call Me 37Baali.17For 38I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will be 39mentioned by their names no more.18In that day I will also make a covenant for them With the 40beasts of the field, The birds of the sky And the creeping things of the ground. And I will 4142abolish the bow, the sword and war from the land, And will make them 43lie down in safety.19I will 44betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in 45righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion,20And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will 46know the Lord.

21“It will come about in that day that 47I will respond,” declares the Lord. “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth,22And the 48earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and to the oil, And they will respond to 49Jezreel.23I will 50sow her for Myself in the land. 51I will also have compassion on 52her who had not obtained compassion, And 53I will say to 54those who were 55not My people, ‘You are My people!’ And 56they will say, ‘You are my God!’”
