Hosea 2:6-13
6Therefore, behold, I will 1obstruct 2her way with 3thorns, And I will build 4a stone wall against her so that she cannot find her 5paths.7And she will 6pursue her lovers, but she will not reach them; And she will seek them, but will not find them. Then she will say, ‘7I will go back to my 8first husband, Because it was 9better for me then than now!’
8“Yet she does 10not know that it was 11I myself 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 1314take back My grain at 15harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax That I gave to cover her nakedness.10So now I will 16uncover her 17lewdness Before the eyes of her lovers, And no one will rescue her from My hand.11I will also 18put an end to all her joy, Her 19feasts, her 20new moons, her Sabbaths, And all her festivals.12And I will 21destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, ‘They are my wages for prostitution Which my lovers have given me.’ And I will 22turn them into a forest, And the 23animals of the field will devour them.13I will punish her for the 24days of the Baals When she used to 2526offer sacrifices to them And 27adorn herself with her nose ring and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she 28forgot Me,” declares the Lord.
