Hosea 2:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰    The land will be stripped bare,
        and this unfaithful wife of Mine will be walking around
    Embarrassingly naked in the sight of her lovers,
        and none of them will be able to rescue her from Me.

¹¹    So I’m going to end all of her celebrations
        now that she uses them to honor other masters—
    Her pilgrimage festivals, her new moon celebrations, her Sabbath feasts,
        and all her other gatherings.
¹²    She says she’s entitled to her vines and fig trees
        because they’re her wages from prostitution; they’re gifts from her lovers.
    But I’m going to destroy them all. I’ll turn them into a tangle of brush,
        and wild animals will eat up the fruit.
