Hosea 2

Israel's Unfaithfulness Condemned

1

 1Sayh559 to your brothersh251, " 2Ammih5971a," and to your sistersh269, " 3Ruhamahh7355."

2

"Contendh7378 with your motherh517,  acontendh7378, For she is  bnot my wifeh802, and I am not her husbandh376; And let her puth5493 awayh5493 her  charlotryh2183 from her faceh6440 And her adulteryh5005 from betweenh996 her breastsh7699a,

3

Orh6435 I will striph6584 her  anakedh6174 And exposeh3322 her as on the  bdayh3117 when she was bornh3205. I will also  cmakeh7760 her like a wildernessh4057b, Makeh7896 her like deserth6723 landh776 And slayh4191 her with  dthirsth6772.

4

"Also, I will haveh7355 noh3808 compassionh7355 on her childrenh1121, Becauseh3588 they are  achildrenh1121 of harlotryh2183.

5

"For their motherh517 has  aplayedh2181 the harloth2181; She who conceivedh2029 them has actedh954 shamefullyh954. For she saidh559, ` aI will goh1980 afterh310 my loversh157, Who  bgiveh5414 me my breadh3899 and my waterh4325, My woolh6785 and my flaxh6593, my  coilh8081 and my drinkh8250.'

6

"Thereforeh3651, beholdh2009, I will  ahedgeh7753 up  1her wayh1870 with  bthornsh5518b, And I will buildh1443  2a wallh1447 against her so that she cannoth3808 findh4672 her  cpathsh5410b.

7

"She will  apursueh7291 her loversh157, but she will not overtakeh5381 them; And she will seekh1245 them, but will not findh4672 them. Then she will sayh559, ` bI will goh1980 backh7725 to my  cfirsth7223 husbandh376, For it was  dbetterh2896a for me thenh227 thanh4480 nowh6258!'

8

"For she does  anot knowh3045 that it was  bI who gaveh5414 her the grainh1715, the newh8492 wineh8492 and the oilh3323, And lavishedh7235a on her silverh3701 and goldh2091, Which they  1usedh6213a for Baalh1168a.

9

"Thereforeh3651, I will  atakeh3947 backh7725 My grainh1715 at  1harvest timeh6256 And My newh8492 wineh8492 in its seasonh4150. I will also takeh5337 awayh5337 My woolh6785 and My flaxh6593 Given to coverh3680 her nakednessh6172.

10

"And thenh6258 I will  auncoverh1540 her lewdnessh5040 In the sighth5869 of her loversh157, And noh3808 oneh376 will rescueh5337 her out of My handh3027.

11

"I will also  aputh7673a an endh7673a to allh3605 her gaietyh4885, Her  bfeastsh2282, her  cnewh2320 moonsh2320, her sabbathsh7676 And allh3605 her festalh4150 assembliesh4150.

12

"I will  adestroyh8074 her vinesh1612 and figh8384 treesh8384, Of whichh834 she saidh559, `Theseh1992a are my wagesh866 Whichh834 my loversh157 have givenh5414 me.' And I will  bmakeh7760 them a foresth3293a, And the  cbeastsh2421b of the fieldh7704 will devourh398 them.

13

"I will punishh6485 her for the  adaysh3117 of the Baalsh1168a Whenh834 she used to  1 bofferh6999 sacrificesh6999 to them And  cadornh5710b herself with her  2earringsh5141 and jewelryh2484, And followh1980h310 her loversh157, so that she  dforgoth7911 Me," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

Restoration of Israel

14

"Thereforeh3651, beholdh2009, I will allureh6601b her,  aBringh1980 her into the wildernessh4057b And speakh1696  1kindlyh3820 to her.

15

"Then I will giveh5414 her her  avineyardsh3754 from thereh8033, And  bthe valleyh6010 of Achorh5911 as a doorh6607 of hopeh8615b. And she will  1 csingh6031b thereh8033 as in the daysh3117 of her youthh5271, As in the  ddayh3117 when she cameh5927 up from the landh776 of Egypth4714.

16

"It will comeh1961 about in that dayh3117," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "That you will callh7121 Me  1 aIshih376 And will noh3808 longerh5750 callh7121 Me  2Baalih1180.

17

"For  aI will removeh5493 the namesh8034 of the Baalsh1168a from her mouthh6310, So that they will be  1mentionedh2142 by their namesh8034 noh3808 moreh5750.

18

"In that dayh3117 I will also makeh3772 a covenanth1285 for them With the  abeastsh2421b of the fieldh7704, The birdsh5775 of the skyh8064 And the creepingh7431 thingsh7431 of the groundh127. And I will  1 babolishh7665 the bowh7198, the swordh2719 and warh4421 from the landh776, And will make them  clieh7901 downh7901 in safetyh983.

19

"I will  abetrothh781 you to Me foreverh5769; Yes, I will betrothh781 you to Me in  brighteousnessh6664 and in justiceh4941, In lovingkindnessh2617a and in compassionh7356,

20

And I will betrothh781 you to Me in faithfulnessh530. Then you will  aknowh3045 the LORDh3068.

21

"It will comeh1961 about in that dayh3117 that  aI will respondh6030a," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068. "I will respondh6030a to the heavensh8064, and they will respondh6030a to the earthh776,

22

And the  aearthh776 will respondh6030a to the grainh1715, to the newh8492 wineh8492 and to the oilh3323, And they will respondh6030a to  1Jezreelh3157.

23

"I will  asowh2232 her for Myself in the landh776.  bI will also haveh7355 compassionh7355 on  1her who had not obtainedh7355 compassionh7355, And  cI will sayh559 to  2those who were  dnot My peopleh5971a, `You are My peopleh5971a!' And  3they will sayh559, `You are my Godh430!' "
