Hosea 2:6-23

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.

14“ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am going to persuadeH6601 her, 29BringH1980 her into the wildernessH4057, And speakH1696 30kindlyH3820 to her.15Then I will giveH5414 her her 31vineyardsH3754 from thereH8033, And 32the 33ValleyH6010 of AchorH5911 as a doorH6607 of hopeH8615. And she will 3435respondH6031 thereH8033 as in the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, As in the 36dayH3117 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 3738my husbandH376 And noH3808 longerH5750 callH7121 Me my 39BaalH1180.17For 40I will removeH5493 the namesH8034 of the BaalsH1168 from her mouthH6310, So that they will noH3808 longerH5750 be 41mentionedH2142 by their namesH8034.18On that dayH3117 I will also makeH3772 a covenantH1285 for them With the 42animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704, The birdsH5775 of the skyH8064, And the crawlingH7431 thingsH7431 of the groundH127. And I will 4344eliminateH7665 the bowH7198, the swordH2719, and warH4421 from the landH776, And will let them 45lieH7901 downH7901 in safetyH983.19I will 46betrothH781 you to Me foreverH5769; Yes, I will betrothH781 you to Me in 47righteousnessH6664 and in justiceH4941, In favorH2617 and in compassionH7356,20And I will betrothH781 you to Me in faithfulnessH530. Then you will 48knowH3045 the LordH3068.

21“And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 on that dayH3117 that 49I will respondH6030,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “I will respondH6030 to the heavensH8064, and they will respondH6030 to the earthH776,22And the 50earthH776 will respondH6030 to the grainH1715, to the newH8492 wineH8492, and to the oilH3323, And they will respondH6030 to 51JezreelH3157.23I will 52sowH2232 her for Myself in the landH776. 53I will also haveH7355 compassionH7355 onH7355 54her who had not obtainedH7355 compassionH7355, And 55I will sayH559 to 56those who were 57not My peopleH5971, ‘You are My peopleH5971!’ And 58they will sayH559, ‘You are my GodH430!’”
