Hosea 2

10 Ref And now do I reveal her dishonour before the eyes of her lovers, And none doth deliver her out of My hand.

11 Ref And I have caused to cease all her joy, Her festival, her new moon, and her sabbath, Even all her appointed times,

12 Ref And made desolate her vine and her fig-tree, Of which she said, A gift they `are' to me, That my lovers have given to me, And I have made them for a forest, And consumed them hath a beast of the field.

13 Ref And I have charged on her the days of the Baalim, To whom she maketh perfume, And putteth on her ring and her ornament, And goeth after her lovers, And Me forgat -- an affirmation of Jehovah.

14 Ref Therefore, lo, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go to the wilderness, And I have spoken unto her heart,

15 Ref And given to her her vineyards from thence, And the valley of Achor for an opening of hope, And she hath responded there as in the days of her youth, And as in the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

16 Ref And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, Thou dost call Me -- My husband, And dost not call Me any more -- My lord.
