Hosea 2:8-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
8 “For she does (A)not know that it was (B)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 (C)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.
10 “And then I will (D)uncover her lewdness
In the sight of her lovers,
And no one will rescue her out of My hand.
11 “I will also (E)put an end to all her gaiety,
Her (F)feasts, her (G)new moons, her sabbaths
And all her festal assemblies.
12 “I will (H)destroy her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘These are my wages
Which my lovers have given me.’
And I will (I)make them a forest,
And the (J)beasts of the field will devour them.
13 “I will punish her for the (K)days of the Baals
When she used to [c](L)offer sacrifices to them
And (M)adorn herself with her [d]earrings and jewelry,
And follow her lovers, so that she (N)forgot Me,” declares the Lord.
Restoration of Israel
14 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
(O)Bring her into the wilderness
And speak [e]kindly to her.
15 “Then I will give her her (P)vineyards from there,
And (Q)the valley of Achor as a door of hope.
And she will [f](R)sing there as in the days of her youth,
As in the (S)day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
16 “It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord,
“That you will call Me [g](T)Ishi
And will no longer call Me [h]Baali.
17 “For (U)I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,
So that they will be [i]mentioned by their names no more.

New International Version
8 She has not acknowledged(A) that I was the one
who gave her the grain, the new wine and oil,(B)
who lavished on her the silver and gold(C)—
which they used for Baal.(D)
9 “Therefore I will take away my grain(E) when it ripens,
and my new wine(F) when it is ready.
I will take back my wool and my linen,
intended to cover her naked body.
10 So now I will expose(G) her lewdness
before the eyes of her lovers;(H)
no one will take her out of my hands.(I)
11 I will stop(J) all her celebrations:(K)
her yearly festivals, her New Moons,
her Sabbath days—all her appointed festivals.(L)
12 I will ruin her vines(M) and her fig trees,(N)
which she said were her pay from her lovers;(O)
I will make them a thicket,(P)
and wild animals will devour them.(Q)
13 I will punish her for the days
she burned incense(R) to the Baals;(S)
she decked herself with rings and jewelry,(T)
and went after her lovers,(U)
but me she forgot,(V)”
declares the Lord.(W)
14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the wilderness(X)
and speak tenderly to her.
15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor[a](Y) a door of hope.
There she will respond[b](Z) as in the days of her youth,(AA)
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.(AB)
