Hosea 2:10-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. Now I will uncover her nakednessin plain view of her lovers,and no one will rescue her from me.

11. I will end all her religious celebrations,her festivals, her new moons, her Sabbath days,and all her sacred seasons.

12. I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,of which she said,"These are my pay,which my lovers have given to me."I will change them into a forest,and the wild animals will eat them.

13. I will punish her for the days dedicated to the Baals,when she offered sweet-smelling sacrifices to themand dressed herself up with rings and jewelry,and went after her lovers,and forgot me, says the Lord.

14. Therefore, I will charm her,and bring her into the desert,and speak tenderly to her heart.

15. From there I will give her vineyards,and make the Achor Valley a door of hope.There she will respond to me as in the days of her youth,like the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
