Hosea 2:5-13
5For their motherH517 hath played the harlotH2181: she that conceivedH2029 them hath done shamefullyH3001: for she saidH559, I will goH3212 afterH310 my loversH157, that giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, mine oilH8081 and my drinkH8250.1
6Therefore, behold, I will hedgeH7753 up thy wayH1870 with thornsH5518, and makeH1443 a wallH1447, that she shall not findH4672 her pathsH5410.2 7And she shall followH7291 after her loversH157, but she shall not overtakeH5381 them; and she shall seekH1245 them, but shall not findH4672 them: then shall she sayH559, I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my firstH7223 husbandH376; for then was it betterH2896 with me than nowH6258. 8For she did not knowH3045 that I gaveH5414 her grainH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and multipliedH7235 her silverH3701 and goldH2091, which they preparedH6213 for BaalH1168.34 9Therefore will I returnH7725, and take awayH3947 my grainH1715 in the timeH6256 thereof, and my wineH8492 in the seasonH4150 thereof, and will recoverH5337 my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593 given to coverH3680 her nakednessH6172.5 10And now will I discoverH1540 her lewdnessH5040 in the sightH5869 of her loversH157, and noneH376 shall deliverH5337 her out of mine handH3027.6 11I will also cause all her mirthH4885 to ceaseH7673, her feast daysH2282, her new moonsH2320, and her sabbathsH7676, and all her solemn feastsH4150. 12And I will destroyH8074 her vinesH1612 and her fig treesH8384, whereof she hath saidH559, These are my rewardsH866 that my loversH157 have givenH5414 me: and I will makeH7760 them a forestH3293, and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall eatH398 them.7 13And I will visitH6485 upon her the daysH3117 of BaalimH1168, wherein she burned incenseH6999 to them, and she deckedH5710 herself with her earringsH5141 and her jewelsH2484, and she wentH3212 afterH310 her loversH157, and forgatH7911 me, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.
