Hosea 2:7-15

7She will 1pursueH7291 her loversH157, but she will not overtakeH5381 them; And she will seekH1245 them, but will not findH4672 them. Then she will sayH559, ‘2I will goH1980 backH7725 to my 3firstH7223 husbandH376, For it was 4betterH2896 for me thenH227 thanH4480 nowH6258!’

8“For she does 5not knowH3045 that it was 6I who gaveH5414 her the grainH1715, the newH8492 wineH8492 and the oilH3323, And lavishedH7235 on her silverH3701 and goldH2091, Which they 7usedH6213 for BaalH1168.9ThereforeH3651, I will 8takeH3947 backH7725 My grainH1715 at 9harvest 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 10uncoverH1540 her lewdnessH5040 In the sightH5869 of her loversH157, And noH3808 oneH376 will rescueH5337 her out of My handH3027.11I will also 11putH7673 an endH7673 to allH3605 her gaietyH4885, Her 12feastsH2282, her 13newH2320 moonsH2320, her sabbathsH7676 And allH3605 her festalH4150 assembliesH4150.12I will 14destroyH8074 her vinesH1612 and figH8384 treesH8384, Of whichH834 she saidH559, ‘TheseH1992 are my wagesH866 WhichH834 my loversH157 have givenH5414 me.’ And I will 15makeH7760 them a forestH3293, And the 16beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will devourH398 them.13I will punishH6485 her for the 17daysH3117 of the BaalsH1168 WhenH834 she used to 1819offerH6999 sacrificesH6999 to them And 20adornH5710 herself with her 21earringsH5141 and jewelryH2484, And followH1980H310 her loversH157, so that she 22forgotH7911 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

14“ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will allureH6601 her, 23BringH1980 her into the wildernessH4057 And speakH1696 24kindlyH3820 to her.15Then I will giveH5414 her her 25vineyardsH3754 from thereH8033, And 26the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 as a doorH6607 of hopeH8615. And she will 2728singH6031 thereH8033 as in the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, As in the 29dayH3117 when she cameH5927 up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
