Hosea 2:8-13
Legacy Standard Bible
8 “Now she does (A)not know that it was (B)I who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,
And multiplied silver and gold for her,
Which they [a]used for Baal.
9 Therefore, I will (C)take back My grain at [b]harvest time
And My new wine in its season.
I will also deliver My wool and My flax from them
Given to cover her nakedness.
10 So now I will (D)uncover her lewdness
In the sight of her lovers,
And no one will deliver her out of My hand.
11 I will also (E)cease all her joy,
Her (F)feasts, her (G)new moons, her sabbaths,
And all her appointed times.
12 And I will (H)make desolate her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘These are my wages
Which my lovers have given me.’
And I will (I)make them a forest,
And the (J)beasts of the field will devour them.
13 So I will visit the (K)days of the Baals upon her
When she used to [c](L)offer offerings in smoke to them
And (M)adorn herself with her [d]earrings and jewelry
And go after her lovers, so that she (N)forgot Me,” declares Yahweh.
