Hosea 2:6-7
New Living Translation
6 “For this reason I will fence her in with thornbushes.
I will block her path with a wall
to make her lose her way.
7 When she runs after her lovers,
she won’t be able to catch them.
She will search for them
but not find them.
Then she will think,
‘I might as well return to my husband,
for I was better off with him than I am now.’
Hosea 2:6-7
English Standard Version
6 Therefore (A)I will hedge up her[a] way with thorns,
and (B)I will build a wall against her,
so that she cannot find her paths.
7 She shall pursue her lovers
but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
but shall not find them.
(C)Then she shall say,
‘I will go and return to (D)my first husband,
(E)for it was better for me then than now.’
