Hosea 2:6-17

Therefore, behold, I will hedge
<07753> (8801)
up thy way
<01870>
with thorns
<05518>_,
and make
<01443> (8804)
a wall
<01447>_,
that she shall not find
<04672> (8799)
her paths
<05410>_.
{make...: Heb. wall a wall}
And she shall follow
<07291> (8765)
after her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
but she shall not overtake
<05381> (8686)
them; and she shall seek
<01245> (8765)
them, but shall not find
<04672> (8799)
[them]: then shall she say
<0559> (8804)_,
I will go
<03212> (8799)
and return
<07725> (8799)
to my first
<07223>
husband
<0376>_;
for then [was it] better
<02896>
with me than now
<06258>_.
For she did not know
<03045> (8804)
that I gave
<05414> (8804)
her corn
<01715>_,
and wine
<08492>_,
and oil
<03323>_,
and multiplied
<07235> (8689)
her silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_,
[which] they prepared
<06213> (8804)
for Baal
<01168>_.
{wine: Heb. new wine} {which...: or, wherewith they made Baal}
Therefore will I return
<07725> (8799)_,
and take away
<03947> (8804)
my corn
<01715>
in the time
<06256>
thereof, and my wine
<08492>
in the season
<04150>
thereof, and will recover
<05337> (8689)
my wool
<06785>
and my flax
<06593>
[given] to cover
<03680> (8763)
her nakedness
<06172>_.
{recover: or, take away}
And now will I discover
<01540> (8762)
her lewdness
<05040>
in the sight
<05869>
of her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
and none
<0376>
shall deliver
<05337> (8686)
her out of mine hand
<03027>_.
{lewdness: Heb. folly, or, villany}
I will also cause all her mirth
<04885>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_,
her feast days
<02282>_,
her new moons
<02320>_,
and her sabbaths
<07676>_,
and all her solemn feasts
<04150>_.
And I will destroy
<08074> (8689)
her vines
<01612>
and her fig trees
<08384>_,
whereof she hath said
<0559> (8804)_,
These [are] my rewards
<0866>
that my lovers
<0157> (8764)
have given
<05414> (8804)
me: and I will make
<07760> (8804)
them a forest
<03293>_,
and the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
shall eat
<0398> (8804)
them. {destroy: Heb. make desolate}
And I will visit
<06485> (8804)
upon her the days
<03117>
of Baalim
<01168>_,
wherein she burned incense
<06999> (8686)
to them, and she decked
<05710> (8799)
herself with her earrings
<05141>
and her jewels
<02484>_,
and she went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
and forgat
<07911> (8804)
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Therefore, behold, I will allure
<06601> (8764)
her, and bring
<03212> (8689)
her into the wilderness
<04057>_,
and speak
<01696> (8765)
comfortably
<03820>
unto her. {comfortably: or, friendly: Heb. to her heart}
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
her her vineyards
<03754>
from thence, and the valley
<06010>
of Achor
<05911>
for a door
<06607>
of hope
<08615>_:
and she shall sing
<06030> (8804)
there, as in the days
<03117>
of her youth
<05271>_,
and as in the day
<03117>
when she came up
<05927> (8800)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And it shall be at that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[that] thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)
me Ishi
<0376>_;
and shalt call
<07121> (8799)
me no more Baali
<01180>_.
{Ishi: that is, My husband} {Baali: that is, My lord}
For I will take away
<05493> (8689)
the names
<08034>
of Baalim
<01168>
out of her mouth
<06310>_,
and they shall no more be remembered
<02142> (8735)
by their name
<08034>_.
