Hosea 2

New American Standard Bible 1995

Israel’s Unfaithfulness Condemned

11SayH559 to your brothersH251, “2AmmiH5971,” and to your sistersH269, “3RuhamahH7355.”2“ContendH7378 with your motherH517, 4contendH7378, For she is 5not my wifeH802, and I am not her husbandH376; And let her putH5493 awayH5493 her 6harlotryH2183 from her faceH6440 And her adulteryH5005 from betweenH996 her breastsH7699,3OrH6435 I will stripH6584 her 7nakedH6174 And exposeH3322 her as on the 8dayH3117 when she was bornH3205. I will also 9makeH7760 her like a wildernessH4057, MakeH7896 her like desertH6723 landH776 And slayH4191 her with 10thirstH6772.4Also, I will haveH7355 noH3808 compassionH7355 on her childrenH1121, BecauseH3588 they are 11childrenH1121 of harlotryH2183.5For their motherH517 has 12playedH2181 the harlotH2181; She who conceivedH2029 them has actedH954 shamefullyH954. For she saidH559, ‘13I will goH1980 afterH310 my loversH157, Who 14giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, My woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, my 15oilH8081 and my drinkH8250.’6ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will 16hedgeH7753 up 17her wayH1870 with 18thornsH5518, And I will buildH1443 19a wallH1447 against her so that she cannotH3808 findH4672 her 20pathsH5410.7She will 21pursueH7291 her loversH157, but she will not overtakeH5381 them; And she will seekH1245 them, but will not findH4672 them. Then she will sayH559, ‘22I will goH1980 backH7725 to my 23firstH7223 husbandH376, For it was 24betterH2896 for me thenH227 thanH4480 nowH6258!’

8“For she does 25not knowH3045 that it was 26I who gaveH5414 her the grainH1715, the newH8492 wineH8492 and the oilH3323, And lavishedH7235 on her silverH3701 and goldH2091, Which they 27usedH6213 for BaalH1168.9ThereforeH3651, I will 28takeH3947 backH7725 My grainH1715 at 29harvest timeH6256 And My newH8492 wineH8492 in its seasonH4150. I will also takeH5337 awayH5337 My woolH6785 and My flaxH6593 Given to coverH3680 her nakednessH6172.10And thenH6258 I will 30uncoverH1540 her lewdnessH5040 In the sightH5869 of her loversH157, And noH3808 oneH376 will rescueH5337 her out of My handH3027.11I will also 31putH7673 an endH7673 to allH3605 her gaietyH4885, Her 32feastsH2282, her 33newH2320 moonsH2320, her sabbathsH7676 And allH3605 her festalH4150 assembliesH4150.12I will 34destroyH8074 her vinesH1612 and figH8384 treesH8384, Of whichH834 she saidH559, ‘TheseH1992 are my wagesH866 WhichH834 my loversH157 have givenH5414 me.’ And I will 35makeH7760 them a forestH3293, And the 36beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will devourH398 them.13I will punishH6485 her for the 37daysH3117 of the BaalsH1168 WhenH834 she used to 3839offerH6999 sacrificesH6999 to them And 40adornH5710 herself with her 41earringsH5141 and jewelryH2484, And followH1980H310 her loversH157, so that she 42forgotH7911 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

Restoration of Israel

14“ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will allureH6601 her, 43BringH1980 her into the wildernessH4057 And speakH1696 44kindlyH3820 to her.15Then I will giveH5414 her her 45vineyardsH3754 from thereH8033, And 46the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 as a doorH6607 of hopeH8615. And she will 4748singH6031 thereH8033 as in the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, As in the 49dayH3117 when she cameH5927 up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.16It will comeH1961 about in that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “That you will callH7121 Me 5051IshiH376 And will noH3808 longerH5750 callH7121 Me 52BaaliH1180.17For 53I will removeH5493 the namesH8034 of the BaalsH1168 from her mouthH6310, So that they will be 54mentionedH2142 by their namesH8034 noH3808 moreH5750.18In that dayH3117 I will also makeH3772 a covenantH1285 for them With the 55beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704, The birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 And the creepingH7431 thingsH7431 of the groundH127. And I will 5657abolishH7665 the bowH7198, the swordH2719 and warH4421 from the landH776, And will make them 58lieH7901 downH7901 in safetyH983.19I will 59betrothH781 you to Me foreverH5769; Yes, I will betrothH781 you to Me in 60righteousnessH6664 and in justiceH4941, In lovingkindnessH2617 and in compassionH7356,20And I will betrothH781 you to Me in faithfulnessH530. Then you will 61knowH3045 the LordH3068.

21“It will comeH1961 about in that dayH3117 that 62I will respondH6030,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “I will respondH6030 to the heavensH8064, and they will respondH6030 to the earthH776,22And the 63earthH776 will respondH6030 to the grainH1715, to the newH8492 wineH8492 and to the oilH3323, And they will respondH6030 to 64JezreelH3157.23I will 65sowH2232 her for Myself in the landH776. 66I will also haveH7355 compassionH7355 on 67her who had not obtainedH7355 compassionH7355, And 68I will sayH559 to 69those who were 70not My peopleH5971, ‘You are My peopleH5971!’ And 71they will sayH559, ‘You are my GodH430!’”
