Hosea 2:8-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ But she would not acknowledge that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the fresh oil.
    I gave her large amounts of silver and gold—her people used it for Baal!
⁹ That is why I will take back my grain during harvest time,
    and my new wine in its season.
    I will also take away my wool and my flax that were given to cover her nakedness.
¹⁰ Then I will expose her shameful nakedness in the sight of her lovers.
    No one will deliver her from my hand.
¹¹ I will put an end to all her celebration:
    her pilgrimage festivals,^[a] her monthly new moons, and her weekly Sabbaths—
    all her appointed festivals.
¹² I will devastate her vines and her fig trees,
    about which she said, “These are the payment^[b] that my lovers gave me.”
    I will make them into a scrub forest,
    and the wild animals will eat the crops.
¹³ I will punish her for the days with the Baals, on which she repeatedly offered incense to them.
    She adorned herself with her rings^[c] and her jewelry,
    and then she chased after her lovers,
    and she forgot me, declares the Lord.
