Hosea 2:6-17
New King James Version
6 “Therefore, behold,
(A)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,
(B)‘I will go and return to my (C)first husband,
For then it was better for me than now.’
8 For she did not (D)know
That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
And multiplied her silver and gold—
Which they prepared for Baal.
9 “Therefore I will return and take away
My grain in its time
And My new wine in its season,
And will take back My wool and My linen,
Given to cover her nakedness.
10 Now (E)I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
And no one shall deliver her from My hand.
11 (F)I will also cause all her mirth to cease,
Her feast days,
Her New Moons,
Her Sabbaths—
All her appointed feasts.
12 “And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
Of which she has said,
‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me.’
So I will make them a forest,
And the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 I will punish her
For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense.
She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry,
And went after her lovers;
But Me she forgot,” says the Lord.
God’s Mercy on His People
14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
Will bring her into the wilderness,
And speak [c]comfort to her.
15 I will give her her vineyards from there,
And (G)the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;
She shall sing there,
As in (H)the days of her youth,
(I)As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
16 “And it shall be, in that day,”
Says the Lord,
“That you will call Me [d]‘My Husband,’
And no longer call Me [e]‘My Master,’
17 For (J)I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals,
And they shall be remembered by their name no more.
