Hosea 2:6-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
6 Therefore, this is what I will do:
I will block your[a] way with thorns.
I will build a wall against her,
so that she cannot find her paths.
7 She will chase after her lovers,
but she will not reach them.
She will seek them,
but she will not find them.
She will say, “I will go back to my first husband,
because then it was better for me than it is now.”
