Hosea 2:6-13

6ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will 1obstructH7753 2her wayH1870 with 3thornsH5518, And I will buildH1443 4a stoneH1447 wallH1447 against her so that she cannotH3808 findH4672 her 5pathsH5410.7And she will 6pursueH7291 her loversH157, but she will not reachH5381 them; And she will seekH1245 them, but will not findH4672 them. Then she will sayH559, ‘7I will goH1980 backH7725 to my 8firstH7223 husbandH376, BecauseH3588 it was 9betterH2896 for me thenH227 thanH4480 nowH6258!’

8“Yet she does 10not knowH3045 that it was 11I myselfH595 who gaveH5414 her the grainH1715, the newH8492 wineH8492, and the oilH3323, And lavishedH7235 on her silverH3701 and goldH2091, Which they 12usedH6213 for BaalH1168.9ThereforeH3651, I will 1314takeH3947 backH7725 My grainH1715 at 15harvest 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 16uncoverH1540 her 17lewdnessH5040 Before the eyesH5869 of her loversH157, And noH3808 oneH376 will rescueH5337 her from My handH3027.11I will also 18putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 toH7673 allH3605 her joyH4885, Her 19feastsH2282, her 20newH2320 moonsH2320, her SabbathsH7676, And allH3605 her festivalsH4150.12And I will 21destroyH8074 her vinesH1612 and figH8384 treesH8384, Of whichH834 she saidH559, ‘They are my wagesH866 forH866 prostitutionH866 WhichH834 my loversH157 have givenH5414 me.’ And I will 22turnH7760 them into a forestH3293, And the 23animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will devourH398 them.13I will punishH6485 her for the 24daysH3117 of the BaalsH1168 WhenH834 she used to 2526offerH6999 sacrificesH6999 to them And 27adornH5710 herself with her noseH5141 ringH5141 and jewelryH2484, And followH1980H310 her loversH157, so that she 28forgotH7911 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
