Hosea 2:6-8
New Life Version
6 So I will put thorn bushes in her way. I will build a wall so that she cannot find her way. 7 She will go after her lovers but will not catch up with them. She will look for them but will not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband. For it was better for me then than now.’
8 “She does not know that it was I Who gave her the grain, the new wine, the oil, and all the silver and gold, which they used for the false god Baal.

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)
