Hosea 2:10-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. And now, I will reveal her foolishness by the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my hand.

11. And I will cause all her joy to cease: her solemnities, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her feast dates.

12. And I will corrupt her vines and her fig trees, about which she said, 'These rewards, they are mine, my lovers have given them to me.' And I will place her in a narrow forest, and the beasts of the field will devour her.

13. And I will inflict on her the days of the Baals, for whom she burned incense, and ornamented herself with earrings and necklace, and went after her lovers, and forgot about me," says the Lord.

14. "Because of this, behold, I will attract her, and I will lead her into the wilderness, and I will speak to her heart.

15. And I will give to her, from the same place, her vinedressers, and the valley of Achor as a passage of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the days of her ascension from the land of Egypt.

16. And it will be in that day," says the Lord, "that she will call me, 'My Husband,' and she will no longer call me, 'My Baal.'

17. And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and she will no longer remember their name.
