Hosea 2:2-20

2“DisputeH7378 with your motherH517, 1disputeH7378, BecauseH3588 she is 2not my wifeH802, and I am not her husbandH376; But she must removeH5493 her 3infidelityH2183 from her faceH6440 And her adulteryH5005 from betweenH996 her breastsH7699,3OtherwiseH6435, I will stripH6584 her 4nakedH6174 And exposeH3322 her as on the 5dayH3117 she was bornH3205. I will also 6makeH7760 her like a wildernessH4057, MakeH7896 her like desertH6723 landH776, And putH4191 her toH4191 deathH4191 with 7thirstH6772.4Also, I will takeH7355 noH3808 pityH7355 onH7355 her childrenH1121, BecauseH3588 they are 8childrenH1121 of infidelityH2183.5For their motherH517 has 9committedH2181 prostitutionH2181; She who conceivedH2029 them has actedH954 shamefullyH954. For she saidH559, ‘10I will goH1980 afterH310 my loversH157, Who 11giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, My woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, my 12oilH8081 and my drinkH8250.’6ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will 13obstructH7753 14her wayH1870 with 15thornsH5518, And I will buildH1443 16a stoneH1447 wallH1447 against her so that she cannotH3808 findH4672 her 17pathsH5410.7And she will 18pursueH7291 her loversH157, but she will not reachH5381 them; And she will seekH1245 them, but will not findH4672 them. Then she will sayH559, ‘19I will goH1980 backH7725 to my 20firstH7223 husbandH376, BecauseH3588 it was 21betterH2896 for me thenH227 thanH4480 nowH6258!’

8“Yet she does 22not knowH3045 that it was 23I myselfH595 who gaveH5414 her the grainH1715, the newH8492 wineH8492, and the oilH3323, And lavishedH7235 on her silverH3701 and goldH2091, Which they 24usedH6213 for BaalH1168.9ThereforeH3651, I will 2526takeH3947 backH7725 My grainH1715 at 27harvest timeH6256 And My newH8492 wineH8492 in its seasonH4150. I will also takeH5337 awayH5337 My woolH6785 and My flaxH6593 That I gave to coverH3680 her nakednessH6172.10So nowH6258 I will 28uncoverH1540 her 29lewdnessH5040 Before the eyesH5869 of her loversH157, And noH3808 oneH376 will rescueH5337 her from My handH3027.11I will also 30putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 toH7673 allH3605 her joyH4885, Her 31feastsH2282, her 32newH2320 moonsH2320, her SabbathsH7676, And allH3605 her festivalsH4150.12And I will 33destroyH8074 her vinesH1612 and figH8384 treesH8384, Of whichH834 she saidH559, ‘They are my wagesH866 forH866 prostitutionH866 WhichH834 my loversH157 have givenH5414 me.’ And I will 34turnH7760 them into a forestH3293, And the 35animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will devourH398 them.13I will punishH6485 her for the 36daysH3117 of the BaalsH1168 WhenH834 she used to 3738offerH6999 sacrificesH6999 to them And 39adornH5710 herself with her noseH5141 ringH5141 and jewelryH2484, And followH1980H310 her loversH157, so that she 40forgotH7911 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

14“ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am going to persuadeH6601 her, 41BringH1980 her into the wildernessH4057, And speakH1696 42kindlyH3820 to her.15Then I will giveH5414 her her 43vineyardsH3754 from thereH8033, And 44the 45ValleyH6010 of AchorH5911 as a doorH6607 of hopeH8615. And she will 4647respondH6031 thereH8033 as in the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, As in the 48dayH3117 when she wentH5927 upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.16And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 on that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “That you will callH7121 Me 4950my husbandH376 And noH3808 longerH5750 callH7121 Me my 51BaalH1180.17For 52I will removeH5493 the namesH8034 of the BaalsH1168 from her mouthH6310, So that they will noH3808 longerH5750 be 53mentionedH2142 by their namesH8034.18On that dayH3117 I will also makeH3772 a covenantH1285 for them With the 54animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704, The birdsH5775 of the skyH8064, And the crawlingH7431 thingsH7431 of the groundH127. And I will 5556eliminateH7665 the bowH7198, the swordH2719, and warH4421 from the landH776, And will let them 57lieH7901 downH7901 in safetyH983.19I will 58betrothH781 you to Me foreverH5769; Yes, I will betrothH781 you to Me in 59righteousnessH6664 and in justiceH4941, In favorH2617 and in compassionH7356,20And I will betrothH781 you to Me in faithfulnessH530. Then you will 60knowH3045 the LordH3068.
