Hosea 2

1 ♥ 📝 S ay^H559 ye unto your brethren,^H251 Ammi;^H5971 and to your sisters,^H269 Ruhamah.^H7355

2 ♥ 📝 Contend^H7378 with your mother,^H517 contend;^H7378 for she is not my wife,^H802 neither am I her husband;^H376 and let her put away^H5493 her whoredoms^H2183 from her face,^H6440 and her adulteries^H5005 from between her breasts;^H7699

3 ♥ 📝 lest I strip^H6584 her naked,^H6174 and set^H3322 her as in the day^H3117 that she was born,^H3205 and make^H7760 her as a wilderness,^H4057 and set^H7896 her like a dry^H6723 land,^H776 and slay^H4191 her with thirst.^H6772

4 ♥ 📝 Yea, upon her children^H1121 will I have no mercy;^H7355 for they are children^H1121 of whoredom;^H2183

5 ♥ 📝 for their mother^H517 hath played the harlot;^H2181 she that conceived^H2029 them hath done shamefully;^H3001 for she said,^H559 I will go^H3212 after^H310 my lovers,^H157 that give^H5414 me my bread^H3899 and my water,^H4325 my wool^H6785 and my flax,^H6593 mine oil^H8081 and my drink.^H8250

6 ♥ 📝 Therefore, behold, I will hedge^H7753 up thy way^H1870 with thorns,^H5518 and I will build^H1443 a wall^H1447 against her, that she shall not find^H4672 her paths.^H5410

7 ♥ 📝 And she shall follow^H7291 after her lovers,^H157 but she shall not overtake^H5381 them; and she shall seek^H1245 them, but shall not find^H4672 them: then shall she say,^H559 I will go^H3212 and return^H7725 to my first^H7223 husband;^H376 for then was it better^H2896 with me than now.^H6258

8 ♥ 📝 For she did not know^H3045 that I gave^H5414 her the grain,^H1715 and the new wine,^H8492 and the oil,^H3323 and multiplied^H7235 unto her silver^H3701 and gold,^H2091 which they used^H6213 for Baal.^H1168

9 ♥ 📝 Therefore will I take^H3947 back^H7725 my grain^H1715 in the time^H6256 thereof, and my new wine^H8492 in the season^H4150 thereof, and will pluck^H5337 away my wool^H6785 and my flax^H6593 which should have covered^H3680 her nakedness.^H6172

10 ♥ 📝 And now will I uncover^H1540 her lewdness^H5040 in the sight^H5869 of her lovers,^H157 and none^H376 shall deliver^H5337 her out of my hand.^H3027

11 ♥ 📝 I will also cause all her mirth^H4885 to cease,^H7673 her feasts,^H2282 her new moons,^H2320 and her sabbaths,^H7676 and all her solemn assemblies.^H4150

12 ♥ 📝 And I will lay waste^H8074 her vines^H1612 and her fig-trees,^H8384 whereof she hath said,^H559 These are my hire^H866 that my lovers^H157 have given^H5414 me; and I will make^H7760 them a forest,^H3293 and the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704 shall eat^H398 them.

13 ♥ 📝 And I will visit^H6485 upon her the days^H3117 of the Baalim,^H1168 unto which she burned incense,^H6999 when she decked^H5710 herself with her ear-rings^H5141 and her jewels,^H2484 and went^H3212 after^H310 her lovers,^H157 and forgat^H7911 me, saith^H5002 Jehovah.^H3068

14 ♥ 📝 Therefore, behold, I will allure^H6601 her, and bring^H3212 her into the wilderness,^H4057 and speak^H1696 comfortably^H3820 unto her.

15 ♥ 📝 And I will give^H5414 her her vineyards^H3754 from thence, and the valley^H6010 of Achor^H5911 for a door^H6607 of hope;^H8615 and she shall make answer^H6030 there, as in the days^H3117 of her youth,^H5271 and as in the day^H3117 when she came up^H5927 out of the land^H776 of Egypt.^H4714

16 ♥ 📝 And it shall be at that day,^H3117 saith^H5002 Jehovah,^H3068 that thou shalt call^H7121 me Ishi,^H376 and shalt call^H7121 me no more Baali.^H1180

17 ♥ 📝 For I will take away^H5493 the names^H8034 of the Baalim^H1168 out of her mouth,^H6310 and they shall no more be mentioned^H2142 by their name.^H8034

18 ♥ 📝 And in that day^H3117 will I make^H3772 a covenant^H1285 for them with the beasts^H2416 of the field,^H7704 and with the birds^H5775 of the heavens,^H8064 and with the creeping things^H7431 of the ground:^H127 and I will break^H7665 the bow^H7198 and the sword^H2719 and the battle^H4421 out of the land,^H776 and will make them to lie down^H7901 safely.^H983

19 ♥ 📝 And I will betroth^H781 thee unto me for ever;^H5769 yea, I will betroth^H781 thee unto me in righteousness,^H6664 and in justice,^H4941 and in lovingkindness,^H2617 and in mercies.^H7356

20 ♥ 📝 I will even betroth^H781 thee unto me in faithfulness;^H530 and thou shalt know^H3045 Jehovah.^H3068

21 ♥ 📝 And it shall come to pass in that day,^H3117 I will answer,^H6030 saith^H5002 Jehovah,^H3068 I will answer^H6030 the heavens,^H8064 and they shall answer^H6030 the earth;^H776

22 ♥ 📝 and the earth^H776 shall answer^H6030 the grain,^H1715 and the new wine,^H8492 and the oil;^H3323 and they shall answer^H6030 Jezreel.^H3157

23 ♥ 📝 And I will sow^H2232 her unto me in the earth;^H776 and I will have mercy^H7355 upon her that had not obtained mercy;^H7355 and I will say^H559 to them that were not my people,^H5971 Thou art my people;^H5971 and they shall say,^H559 [Thou art] my God.^H430
