Hosea 2:6-8
Complete Jewish Bible
6 (4) I will have no pity on her children,
for they are children of whoring —
7 (5) their mother prostituted herself,
she who conceived them behaved shamelessly;
she said, ‘I will pursue my lovers,
who give me my food and water,
wool, flax, olive oil and wine.’
8 (6) Therefore, I will block her way with thorns
and put up a hedge so she can’t find her paths.
Hosea 2:6-8
New International Version
6 Therefore I will block her path with thornbushes;
I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way.(A)
7 She will chase after her lovers but not catch them;
she will look for them but not find them.(B)
Then she will say,
‘I will go back to my husband(C) as at first,(D)
for then I was better off(E) than now.’
8 She has not acknowledged(F) that I was the one
who gave her the grain, the new wine and oil,(G)
who lavished on her the silver and gold(H)—
which they used for Baal.(I)
