Hosea 2:8-13
Legacy Standard Bible
8 “Now she does (A)not know that it was (B)I who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,
And multiplied silver and gold for her,
Which they [a]used for Baal.
9 Therefore, I will (C)take back My grain at [b]harvest time
And My new wine in its season.
I will also deliver My wool and My flax from them
Given to cover her nakedness.
10 So now I will (D)uncover her lewdness
In the sight of her lovers,
And no one will deliver her out of My hand.
11 I will also (E)cease all her joy,
Her (F)feasts, her (G)new moons, her sabbaths,
And all her appointed times.
12 And I will (H)make desolate her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘These are my wages
Which my lovers have given me.’
And I will (I)make them a forest,
And the (J)beasts of the field will devour them.
13 So I will visit the (K)days of the Baals upon her
When she used to [c](L)offer offerings in smoke to them
And (M)adorn herself with her [d]earrings and jewelry
And go after her lovers, so that she (N)forgot Me,” declares Yahweh.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 She did not know
that it was I who gave her
the grain, the wine, and the oil
and who lavished upon her silver
and gold that they used for Baal.(A)
9 Therefore I will take back
my grain in its time
and my wine in its season,
and I will take away my wool and my flax,
which were to cover her nakedness.
10 Now I will uncover her shame
in the sight of her lovers,
and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.(B)
11 I will put an end to all her mirth,
her festivals, her new moons, her Sabbaths,
and all her appointed festivals.(C)
12 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
of which she said,
“These are my pay,
which my lovers have given me.”
I will make them a forest,
and the wild animals shall devour them.(D)
13 I will punish her for the festival days of the Baals,
to whom she offered incense
and decked herself with her rings and jewelry
and went after her lovers
and forgot me, says the Lord.(E)
