Hosea 2:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 Therefore, this is what I will do:
I will block her[a] way(A) with thorns;(B)
I will enclose her with a wall,
so that she cannot find her paths.(C)
7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them;(D)
she will look for them but not find them.
Then she will think,
“I will go back to my former husband,(E)
for then it was better for me than now.”(F)
8 She does not recognize(G)
that it is I who gave her the grain,(H)
the new wine, and the fresh oil.
I lavished silver and gold on her,
which they used for Baal.
