Hosea 2:7-9

New King James Version

⁷ She will ^[a]chase her lovers,
But not overtake them;
Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.
Then she will say,
^(A)‘I will go and return to my ^(B)first husband,
For then it was better for me than now.’
⁸ For she did not ^(C)know
That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
And multiplied her silver and gold—
Which they prepared for Baal.
