Hosea 2:7-9
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 “She will (A)pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them;
And she will seek them, but will not find them.
Then she will say, ‘(B)I will go back to my (C)first husband,
For it was (D)better for me then than now!’
8 “For she does (E)not know that it was (F)I who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil,
And lavished on her silver and gold,
Which they [a]used for Baal.
9 “Therefore, I will (G)take back My grain at [b]harvest time
And My new wine in its season.
I will also take away My wool and My flax
Given 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)

‘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)
