Hosea 2:4-6
International Standard Version
4 Furthermore, I’ll not show pity on her children,
since they are children of prostitution.
5 Indeed, their mother has committed prostitution—
the one who has been conceiving them has acted disgracefully—
when she said,
‘I’m going after my lovers,
who provide me food and water,
as well as my wool, my flax,
my oil, and my wine.’
6 “Look how I’m blocking her[a] path with thorns
and building a wall to hinder[b] her,
so she can’t find her way.
Hosea 2:4-6
New International Version
4 I will not show my love to her children,(A)
because they are the children of adultery.(B)
5 Their mother has been unfaithful
and has conceived them in disgrace.
She said, ‘I will go after my lovers,(C)
who give me my food and my water,
my wool and my linen, my olive oil and my drink.’(D)
6 Therefore I will block her path with thornbushes;
I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way.(E)
