Hosea 2:5-9
English Standard Version
5 For (A)their mother has played the whore;
she who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For (B)she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
who (C)give me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
6 Therefore (D)I will hedge up her[a] way with thorns,
and (E)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.
(F)Then she shall say,
‘I will go and return to (G)my first husband,
(H)for it was better for me then than now.’
8 And (I)she did not know
that it was (J)I who gave her
(K)the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and who lavished on (L)her silver and gold,
(M)which they used for Baal.
9 Therefore (N)I will take back
my grain in its time,
and my wine in its season,
and (O)I will take away my wool and my flax,
which were to cover her nakedness.
