Hosea 2:8-13
Christian Standard Bible
8 She does not recognize(A)
that it is I who gave her the grain,(B)
the new wine, and the fresh oil.
I lavished silver and gold on her,
which they used for Baal.
9 Therefore, I will take back my grain in its time(C)
and my new wine in its season;
I will take away my wool and linen,
which were to cover her nakedness.
10 Now I will expose her shame(D)
in the sight of her lovers,
and no one will rescue her from my power.
11 I will put an end to all her celebrations:(E)
her feasts,(F) New Moons,(G) and Sabbaths—
all her festivals.
12 I will devastate her vines and fig trees.(H)
She thinks that these are her wages
that her lovers have given her.
I will turn them into a thicket,(I)
and the wild animals will eat them.(J)
13 And I will punish her for the days of the Baals,(K)
to which she burned incense.(L)
She put on her rings and her jewelry(M)
and followed her lovers,
but she forgot me.(N)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

Hosea 2:8-13
New American Standard Bible
8 “Yet she does (A)not know that it was (B)I myself who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,
And lavished on her silver and gold,
Which they [a]used for Baal.
9 Therefore, I will [b](C)take back My grain at [c]harvest time
And My new wine in its season.
I will also take away My wool and My flax
That I gave to cover her nakedness.
10 So now I will (D)uncover her [d]lewdness
Before the eyes of her lovers,
And no one will rescue her from My hand.
11 I will also (E)put an end to all her joy,
Her (F)feasts, her (G)new moons, her Sabbaths,
And all her festivals.
12 And I will (H)destroy her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘They are my wages for prostitution
Which my lovers have given me.’
And I will (I)turn them into a forest,
And the (J)animals of the field will devour them.
13 I will punish her for the (K)days of the Baals
When she used to [e](L)offer sacrifices to them
And (M)adorn herself with her nose ring and jewelry,
And follow her lovers, so that she (N)forgot Me,” declares the Lord.
