Hosea 2:7-9
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them: and she shall seek them, and shall not find, and she shall say: I will go, and return to my first husband, because it was better with me then, than now.
8 And she did not know that I gave her corn and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver, and gold, which they have used in the service of Baal.
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its season, and I will set at liberty my wool, and my flax, which covered her disgrace.

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)
