Hoshea 2:6-8
Orthodox Jewish Bible
6 (2:8) Therefore, hinei, I will hedge up thy path with thorns, and wall in her wall, that she shall not find her netivah (way).
7 (2:9) And she shall chase 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 ish harishon (first husband); for then was it better with me than now.
8 (2:10) For she did not have da’as that I gave her dagan (grain), and tirosh (new wine), and yitzhar (oil), and multiplied her kesef and zahav, which they prepared for Ba’al.

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)
