Hosea 2:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸She wouldn’t admit that I was the one
    who gave her everything she had.
    I provided her with grain, olive oil and fresh wine.
I gave her plenty of silver and gold.
    But she used it to make statues of Baal.

⁹“So I will take away my grain when it gets ripe.
    I’ll take my fresh wine when it’s ready.
I’ll take back my wool and my linen.
    I gave them to her to cover her naked body.
¹⁰So now I’ll uncover her body.
    All her lovers will see it.
    No one can stop me from punishing her.
