Hosea 2:8-17
New American Standard Bible
8 “Yet she does (A)not know that it was (B)I myself 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 [b](C)take back My grain at [c]harvest time
And My new wine in its season.
I will also take away My wool and My flax
That I gave to cover her nakedness.
10 So now I will (D)uncover her [d]lewdness
Before the eyes of her lovers,
And no one will rescue her from My hand.
11 I will also (E)put an end to all her joy,
Her (F)feasts, her (G)new moons, her Sabbaths,
And all her festivals.
12 And I will (H)destroy her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘They are my wages for prostitution
Which my lovers have given me.’
And I will (I)turn them into a forest,
And the (J)animals of the field will devour them.
13 I will punish her for the (K)days of the Baals
When she used to [e](L)offer sacrifices to them
And (M)adorn herself with her nose ring and jewelry,
And follow her lovers, so that she (N)forgot Me,” declares the Lord.
Restoration of Israel
14 “Therefore, behold, I am going to persuade her,
(O)Bring her into the wilderness,
And speak [f]kindly to her.
15 Then I will give her her (P)vineyards from there,
And (Q)the [g]Valley of Achor as a door of hope.
And she will [h](R)respond there as in the days of her youth,
As in the (S)day when she went up from the land of Egypt.
16 And it will come about on that day,” declares the Lord,
“That you will call Me [i](T)my husband
And no longer call Me my [j]Baal.
17 For (U)I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,
So that they will no longer be [k]mentioned by their names.

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)
