Hosea 2:7–15

⁷And she shall follow after ⁿher lovers, but she shall not overtake them;

And she shall seek them, but shall not find them:

Then shall she say, ^tI will go and return to my ^ufirst husband;

^tFor then was it better with me than now.

⁸For ^vshe did not know ^wthat I gave her ^xcorn, and ^†xwine, and ^xoil,

And multiplied her silver and gold,

^||Which they prepared for Baal.

⁹Therefore will I return, and ^ytake away my corn in the time thereof,

And my wine in the season thereof,

And will ^||recover ^zmy wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.

¹⁰And now ^awill I discover her ^†lewdness in the sight of her lovers,

And none shall deliver her out of mine hand.

^11bI will also cause all her mirth to cease,

^cHer ^eefeast days, ^deher new moons, and ^dher sabbaths, and all her ^eesolemn feasts.

¹²And I will ^†destroy her vines and her fig trees,

Whereof she hath said, ^fThese are my rewards that ^fmy lovers have given me:

And ^gI will make them a forest,

And the beasts of the field shall eat them.

¹³And ^hI will visit upon her ⁱthe days of Baalim, wherein ⁱshe burned incense to them,

And ^jshe decked herself with ^jjher earrings and ^jjher jewels,

And ^fshe went after her lovers, and ^kforgat me, saith the Lord.

¹⁴Therefore, behold, I will allure her,

And ^lbring her into the wilderness,

And speak ^||†comfortably unto her.

¹⁵And I will give her ^mher vineyards ⁿfrom thence,

And ^othe valley of Achor for a door of hope:

And she shall ^psing there, as ^qin the days of her youth,

And ^ras in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
