Hosea 2:7-9
Darby Translation
7 And she shall pursue after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, and shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then was it better with me than now.
8 And she did not know that I had given her the corn and the new wine and the oil, and had multiplied to her the silver and gold, which they employed for Baal.
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my new wine in its season, and will withdraw my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

7 She will chase after her lovers but not catch them;
she will look for them but not find them.(A)
Then she will say,
‘I will go back to my husband(B) as at first,(C)
for then I was better off(D) than now.’
8 She has not acknowledged(E) that I was the one
who gave her the grain, the new wine and oil,(F)
who lavished on her the silver and gold(G)—
which they used for Baal.(H)
