Hosea 2:5-13

5For their motherH517 has 1playedH2181 the harlotH2181; She who conceivedH2029 them has actedH954 shamefullyH954. For she saidH559, ‘2I will goH1980 afterH310 my loversH157, Who 3giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, My woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, my 4oilH8081 and my drinkH8250.’6ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will 5hedgeH7753 up 6her wayH1870 with 7thornsH5518, And I will buildH1443 8a wallH1447 against her so that she cannotH3808 findH4672 her 9pathsH5410.7She will 10pursueH7291 her loversH157, but she will not overtakeH5381 them; And she will seekH1245 them, but will not findH4672 them. Then she will sayH559, ‘11I will goH1980 backH7725 to my 12firstH7223 husbandH376, For it was 13betterH2896 for me thenH227 thanH4480 nowH6258!’

8“For she does 14not knowH3045 that it was 15I who gaveH5414 her the grainH1715, the newH8492 wineH8492 and the oilH3323, And lavishedH7235 on her silverH3701 and goldH2091, Which they 16usedH6213 for BaalH1168.9ThereforeH3651, I will 17takeH3947 backH7725 My grainH1715 at 18harvest 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 19uncoverH1540 her lewdnessH5040 In the sightH5869 of her loversH157, And noH3808 oneH376 will rescueH5337 her out of My handH3027.11I will also 20putH7673 an endH7673 to allH3605 her gaietyH4885, Her 21feastsH2282, her 22newH2320 moonsH2320, her sabbathsH7676 And allH3605 her festalH4150 assembliesH4150.12I will 23destroyH8074 her vinesH1612 and figH8384 treesH8384, Of whichH834 she saidH559, ‘TheseH1992 are my wagesH866 WhichH834 my loversH157 have givenH5414 me.’ And I will 24makeH7760 them a forestH3293, And the 25beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will devourH398 them.13I will punishH6485 her for the 26daysH3117 of the BaalsH1168 WhenH834 she used to 2728offerH6999 sacrificesH6999 to them And 29adornH5710 herself with her 30earringsH5141 and jewelryH2484, And followH1980H310 her loversH157, so that she 31forgotH7911 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
