Hosea 2:7-9
English Standard Version
7 She shall pursue her lovers
but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
but shall not find them.
(A)Then she shall say,
‘I will go and return to (B)my first husband,
(C)for it was better for me then than now.’
8 And (D)she did not know
that it was (E)I who gave her
(F)the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and who lavished on (G)her silver and gold,
(H)which they used for Baal.
9 Therefore (I)I will take back
my grain in its time,
and my wine in its season,
and (J)I will take away my wool and my flax,
which were to cover her nakedness.
Hosea 2:7-9
New International Version
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)
