Hosea 2:5-8

5For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.1

6Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.2 7And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now. 8For she did not know that I gave her grain, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.34
