Hosea 2:6-7
Christian Standard Bible
6 Therefore, this is what I will do:
I will block her[a] way(A) with thorns;(B)
I will enclose her with a wall,
so that she cannot find her paths.(C)
7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them;(D)
she will look for them but not find them.
Then she will think,
“I will go back to my former husband,(E)
for then it was better for me than now.”(F)

Hosea 2:6-7
New Living Translation
6 “For this reason I will fence her in with thornbushes.
I will block her path with a wall
to make her lose her way.
7 When she runs after her lovers,
she won’t be able to catch them.
She will search for them
but not find them.
Then she will think,
‘I might as well return to my husband,
for I was better off with him than I am now.’
