Hosea 2:8-13
English Standard Version
8 And (A)she did not know
that it was (B)I who gave her
(C)the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and who lavished on (D)her silver and gold,
(E)which they used for Baal.
9 Therefore (F)I will take back
my grain in its time,
and my wine in its season,
and (G)I will take away my wool and my flax,
which were to cover her nakedness.
10 Now (H)I will uncover her lewdness
in the sight of her lovers,
and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
11 (I)And I will put an end to all her mirth,
her feasts, her (J)new moons, her (K)Sabbaths,
and all her (L)appointed feasts.
12 And (M)I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
(N)of which she said,
‘These are (O)my wages,
which my lovers have given me.’
I will make them a forest,
(P)and the beasts of the field shall devour them.
13 And (Q)I will punish her for (R)the feast days of the Baals
when she burned offerings to them
and (S)adorned herself with her ring and jewelry,
and went after her lovers
and forgot me, declares the Lord.
