Hosea 2:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
    about which she said,
“These are the payment
    I have received from my lovers.”
I shall allow them to grow wild,
    and ferocious beasts will devour them.
¹⁵ I will inflict punishment on her
    for the festival days of the Baals,
when she burned incense to them,
    and adorned herself with her rings and jewels
and ran after her lovers
    while she forgot me, says the Lord.

¹⁶ As a result, now I intend to allure her,
    lead her into the wilderness,
    and speak tenderly to her.
