Hosea 2:7-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them;(A)
she will seek them but not find them.
Then she will think,
“I will go back to my former husband,(B)
for then it was better for me than now.”(C)
8 She does not recognize(D)
that it is I who gave her the grain,(E)
the new wine, and the oil.
I lavished silver and gold on her,
which they used for Baal.
9 Therefore, I will take back My grain in its time(F)
and My new wine in its season;
I will take away My wool and linen,
which were to cover 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)
