Hosea 2:9-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

9. "Therefore, I will take back My grain at harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax Given to cover her nakedness.

10. "And then I will uncover her lewdness In the sight of her lovers, And no one will rescue her out of My hand.

11. "I will also put an end to all her gaiety, Her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths And all her festal assemblies.

12. "I will destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, 'These are my wages Which my lovers have given me.' And I will make them a forest, And the beasts of the field will devour them.

13. "I will punish her for the days of the Baals When she used to offer sacrifices to them And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me," declares the Lord.

14. "Therefore, behold, I will allure her, Bring her into the wilderness And speak kindly to her.

15. "Then I will give her her vineyards from there, And the valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

16. "It will come about in that day," declares the Lord, "That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali.
