Hosea 2:6-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Therefore I will hedge up her[a] way with thorns,
and I will build a wall against her
so that she cannot find her paths.(A)
7 She shall pursue her lovers
but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
but shall not find them.
Then she shall say, “I will go
and return to my first husband,
for it was better with me then than now.”(B)
