Hosea 2:11-15

11I will also 1put an end to all her joy, Her 2feasts, her 3new moons, her Sabbaths, And all her festivals.12And I will 4destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, ‘They are my wages for prostitution Which my lovers have given me.’ And I will 5turn them into a forest, And the 6animals of the field will devour them.13I will punish her for the 7days of the Baals When she used to 8 9offer sacrifices to them And 10adorn herself with her nose ring and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she 11forgot Me,” declares the Lord.

14“Therefore, behold, I am going to persuade her, 12Bring her into the wilderness, And speak 13kindly to her.15Then I will give her her 14vineyards from there, And 15the 16Valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will 17 18respond there as in the days of her youth, As in the 19day when she went up from the land of Egypt.
