Hosea 2:5-7

New King James Version

⁶ “Therefore, behold,
^(B)I will hedge up your way with thorns,
And ^[a]wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
⁷ She will ^[b]chase her lovers,
But not overtake them;
Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.
Then she will say,
^(C)‘I will go and return to my ^(D)first husband,
For then it was better for me than now.’
