Hosea 2:10-16

Hosea 2:10-16 CSB

Now I will expose her shame  in the sight of her lovers, and no one will rescue her from my power. I will put an end to all her celebrations:  her feasts,  New Moons,  and Sabbaths — all her festivals. I will devastate her vines and fig trees.  She thinks that these are her wages that her lovers have given her. I will turn them into a thicket,  and the wild animals will eat them.  And I will punish her for the days of the Baals,  to which she burned incense.  She put on her rings and her jewelry  and followed her lovers, but she forgot me.  This is the  LORD’s declaration. Therefore, I am going to persuade her, lead her to the wilderness,  and speak tenderly to her.  There I will give her vineyards back to her  and make the Valley of Achor  , into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth,  as in the day she came out of the land of Egypt. In that day — this is the  LORD’s declaration — you will call me “my husband”  and no longer call me “my Baal.”
