New International Version

Hosea 2:9-14 New International Version (NIV)

9. “Therefore I will take away my grain when it ripens, and my new wine when it is ready. I will take back my wool and my linen, intended to cover her naked body.

10. So now I will expose her lewdness before the eyes of her lovers; no one will take her out of my hands.

11. I will stop all her celebrations: her yearly festivals, her New Moons, her Sabbath days—all her appointed festivals.

12. I will ruin her vines and her fig trees, which she said were her pay from her lovers; I will make them a thicket, and wild animals will devour them.

13. I will punish her for the days she burned incense to the Baals; she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, but me she forgot,” declares the Lord.

14. “Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.
