Hosea 2:1-14

2:1

Say
<0559> (8798)

ye unto your brethren
<0251>_,

Ammi
<05971>_;

and to your sisters
<0269>_,

Ruhamah
<07355> (8795)_.

{Ammi: that is, My people} {Ruhamah: that is, Having obtained mercy}

2:2

Plead
<07378> (8798)

with your mother
<0517>_,

plead
<07378> (8798)_:

for she [is] not my wife
<0802>_,

neither [am] I her husband
<0376>_:

let her therefore put away
<05493> (8686)

her whoredoms
<02183>

out of her sight
<06440>_,

and her adulteries
<05005>

from between her breasts
<07699>_;

2:3

Lest I strip
<06584> (8686)

her naked
<06174>_,

and set
<03322> (8689)

her as in the day
<03117>

that she was born
<03205> (8736)_,

and make
<07760> (8804)

her as a wilderness
<04057>_,

and set
<07896> (8804)

her like a dry
<06723>

land
<0776>_,

and slay
<04191> (8689)

her with thirst
<06772>_.

2:4

And I will not have mercy
<07355> (8762)

upon her children
<01121>_;

for they [be] the children
<01121>

of whoredoms
<02183>_.

2:5

For their mother
<0517>

hath played the harlot
<02181> (8804)_:

she that conceived
<02029> (8802)

them hath done shamefully
<03001> (8689)_:

for she said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will go
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

my lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

that give
<05414> (8802)

[me] my bread
<03899>

and my water
<04325>_,

my wool
<06785>

and my flax
<06593>_,

mine oil
<08081>

and my drink
<08250>_.

{drink: Heb. drinks}

2:6

Therefore, behold, I will hedge
<07753> (8801)

up thy way
<01870>

with thorns
<05518>_,

and make
<01443> (8804)

a wall
<01447>_,

that she shall not find
<04672> (8799)

her paths
<05410>_.

{make...: Heb. wall a wall}

2:7

And she shall follow
<07291> (8765)

after her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

but she shall not overtake
<05381> (8686)

them; and she shall seek
<01245> (8765)

them, but shall not find
<04672> (8799)

[them]: then shall she say
<0559> (8804)_,

I will go
<03212> (8799)

and return
<07725> (8799)

to my first
<07223>

husband
<0376>_;

for then [was it] better
<02896>

with me than now
<06258>_.

2:8

For she did not know
<03045> (8804)

that I gave
<05414> (8804)

her corn
<01715>_,

and wine
<08492>_,

and oil
<03323>_,

and multiplied
<07235> (8689)

her silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>_,

[which] they prepared
<06213> (8804)

for Baal
<01168>_.

{wine: Heb. new wine} {which...: or, wherewith they made Baal}

2:9

Therefore will I return
<07725> (8799)_,

and take away
<03947> (8804)

my corn
<01715>

in the time
<06256>

thereof, and my wine
<08492>

in the season
<04150>

thereof, and will recover
<05337> (8689)

my wool
<06785>

and my flax
<06593>

[given] to cover
<03680> (8763)

her nakedness
<06172>_.

{recover: or, take away}

2:10

And now will I discover
<01540> (8762)

her lewdness
<05040>

in the sight
<05869>

of her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

and none
<0376>

shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

her out of mine hand
<03027>_.

{lewdness: Heb. folly, or, villany}

2:11

I will also cause all her mirth
<04885>

to cease
<07673> (8689)_,

her feast days
<02282>_,

her new moons
<02320>_,

and her sabbaths
<07676>_,

and all her solemn feasts
<04150>_.

2:12

And I will destroy
<08074> (8689)

her vines
<01612>

and her fig trees
<08384>_,

whereof she hath said
<0559> (8804)_,

These [are] my rewards
<0866>

that my lovers
<0157> (8764)

have given
<05414> (8804)

me: and I will make
<07760> (8804)

them a forest
<03293>_,

and the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>

shall eat
<0398> (8804)

them. {destroy: Heb. make desolate}

2:13

And I will visit
<06485> (8804)

upon her the days
<03117>

of Baalim
<01168>_,

wherein she burned incense
<06999> (8686)

to them, and she decked
<05710> (8799)

herself with her earrings
<05141>

and her jewels
<02484>_,

and she went
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

and forgat
<07911> (8804)

me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:14

Therefore, behold, I will allure
<06601> (8764)

her, and bring
<03212> (8689)

her into the wilderness
<04057>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

comfortably
<03820>

unto her. {comfortably: or, friendly: Heb. to her heart}
