Hosea 2:11-19
New International Version
11 I will stop(A) all her celebrations:(B)
her yearly festivals, her New Moons,
her Sabbath days—all her appointed festivals.(C)
12 I will ruin her vines(D) and her fig trees,(E)
which she said were her pay from her lovers;(F)
I will make them a thicket,(G)
and wild animals will devour them.(H)
13 I will punish her for the days
she burned incense(I) to the Baals;(J)
she decked herself with rings and jewelry,(K)
and went after her lovers,(L)
but me she forgot,(M)”
declares the Lord.(N)
14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the wilderness(O)
and speak tenderly to her.
15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor[a](P) a door of hope.
There she will respond[b](Q) as in the days of her youth,(R)
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.(S)
16 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“you will call me ‘my husband’;(T)
you will no longer call me ‘my master.[c]’
17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips;(U)
no longer will their names be invoked.(V)
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them
with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the creatures that move along the ground.(W)
Bow and sword and battle
I will abolish(X) from the land,
so that all may lie down in safety.(Y)
19 I will betroth(Z) you to me forever;
I will betroth you in[d] righteousness and justice,(AA)
in[e] love and compassion.(AB)
