Hosea 2:6-7
Legacy Standard Bible
6 Therefore, behold, I will (A)hedge up [a]her way with (B)thorns,
And I will build [b]a wall against her so that she cannot find her (C)paths.
7 So she will (D)pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them;
And she will seek them, but will not find them.
Then she will say, ‘(E)I will go, and I will return to my (F)first husband,
For it was (G)better for me then than now!’
Hosea 2:6-7
Christian Standard Bible
6 Therefore, this is what I will do:
I will block her[a] way(A) with thorns;(B)
I will enclose her with a wall,
so that she cannot find her paths.(C)
7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them;(D)
she will look for them but not find them.
Then she will think,
“I will go back to my former husband,(E)
for then it was better for me than now.”(F)
