Hosea 2:6-7
New American Standard Bible
6 Therefore, behold, I will (A)obstruct [a]her way with (B)thorns,
And I will build [b]a stone wall against her so that she cannot find her (C)paths.
7 And she will (D)pursue her lovers, but she will not reach them;
And she will seek them, but will not find them.
Then she will say, ‘(E)I will go back to my (F)first husband,
Because it was (G)better for me then than now!’
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.’
