Hosea 2:8-13

Modern English Version

⁹ Therefore I will take back My grain in its time
    and My wine in its season,
and I will recover My wool and My flax,
    given to cover her nakedness.
¹⁰ Therefore I will uncover her shame
    in the sight of her lovers,
    and no one will deliver her from My hand.
¹¹ I will also bring to an end all her joy,
    her annual feasts, her New Moons,
    and her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
¹² I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
    of which she has said, “These are my rewards that my lovers have given me.”
I will make them a forest,
    and the beasts of the field will eat them.
¹³ I will punish her for the days of the Baals,
    when she burned incense to them
and adorned herself with her earrings and her jewelry,
    and pursued her lovers,
    but forgot Me,
    declares the Lord.
