Hosea 2:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
    of which she has said, “These are my rewards that my lovers have given me.”
I will make them a forest,
    and the beasts of the field will eat them.
¹³ I will punish her for the days of the Baals,
    when she burned incense to them
and adorned herself with her earrings and her jewelry,
    and pursued her lovers,
    but forgot Me,
    declares the Lord.

¹⁴ Therefore, I will allure her,
    and bring her into the wilderness,
    and speak tenderly to her.
