Hosea 2:7-23

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}

2:15

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

her her vineyards
<03754>

from thence, and the valley
<06010>

of Achor
<05911>

for a door
<06607>

of hope
<08615>_:

and she shall sing
<06030> (8804)

there, as in the days
<03117>

of her youth
<05271>_,

and as in the day
<03117>

when she came up
<05927> (8800)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

2:16

And it shall be at that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[that] thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)

me Ishi
<0376>_;

and shalt call
<07121> (8799)

me no more Baali
<01180>_.

{Ishi: that is, My husband} {Baali: that is, My lord}

2:17

For I will take away
<05493> (8689)

the names
<08034>

of Baalim
<01168>

out of her mouth
<06310>_,

and they shall no more be remembered
<02142> (8735)

by their name
<08034>_.

2:18

And in that day
<03117>

will I make
<03772> (8804)

a covenant
<01285>

for them with the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>_,

and with the fowls
<05775>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and [with] the creeping things
<07431>

of the ground
<0127>_:

and I will break
<07665> (8799)

the bow
<07198>

and the sword
<02719>

and the battle
<04421>

out of the earth
<0776>_,

and will make them to lie down
<07901> (8689)

safely
<0983>_.

2:19

And I will betroth
<0781> (8765)

thee unto me for ever
<05769>_;

yea, I will betroth
<0781> (8765)

thee unto me in righteousness
<06664>_,

and in judgment
<04941>_,

and in lovingkindness
<02617>_,

and in mercies
<07356>_.

2:20

I will even betroth
<0781> (8765)

thee unto me in faithfulness
<0530>_:

and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:21

And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,

I will hear
<06030> (8799)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I will hear
<06030> (8799)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and they shall hear
<06030> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_;

2:22

And the earth
<0776>

shall hear
<06030> (8799)

the corn
<01715>_,

and the wine
<08492>_,

and the oil
<03323>_;

and they shall hear
<06030> (8799)

Jezreel
<03157>_.

2:23

And I will sow
<02232> (8804)

her unto me in the earth
<0776>_;

and I will have mercy
<07355> (8765)

upon her that had not obtained mercy
<07355> (8795) (8677) <03818>_;

and I will say
<0559> (8804)

to [them which were] not my people
<05971>_,

Thou [art] my people
<05971>_;

and they shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

[Thou art] my God
<0430>_.
