Hosea 2:6-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁶ ¶ Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns and make a wall that she shall not find her paths.

⁷ And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them; then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better with me than now.

⁸ For she did not recognize that I gave her the wheat and the wine and the oil and multiplied unto them the silver and the gold, with which they made Baal.
