Hosea 2:6-7
New American Standard Bible
6 Therefore, behold, I will (A)obstruct [a]her way with (B)thorns,
And I will build [b]a stone wall against her so that she cannot find her (C)paths.
7 And she will (D)pursue her lovers, but she will not reach them;
And she will seek them, but will not find them.
Then she will say, ‘(E)I will go back to my (F)first husband,
Because it was (G)better for me then than now!’
Hosea 2:6-7
International Standard Version
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.
7 She will pursue her lovers,
but she won’t catch up with them.
She will seek them,
but she won’t find them.
Then she will say,
‘I’ll go back and return to my first husband,
because it was better for me then than now.’
