Hosea 2:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² I’ll destroy her vines and her fig trees,
    about which she said,
‘These are the earnings that my lovers paid me.
    I’ll make them grow into a forest,
        and the wild animals will eat from them.’
¹³ I’ll punish her for the time she has devoted to the Baals,^[a]
    to whom she burned incense,
and for whom she put on her earrings and jewels
    so she could go after her lovers and forget me,”
        declares the Lord.

¹⁴ “Therefore, look! I will now allure her.
    I will make her go out to the wilderness,
        and will speak to her heart.
