Hosea 2:5-7

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}

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}

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>_.
