Hosea 2:5-9
Hosea 2:5-9 TPT
Yes, their mother has prostituted herself, the one who conceived them has disgraced herself. For she said, ‘I will chase after my lovers; they will provide all I need: my robe, my clothing, my oil, and my wine.’ Behold! I will block her way with thorns and build up a wall against her to stop her in her tracks. Then when she tries to chase her lovers, she will not be able to catch them. When she looks for them, she will not find them. Eventually, she’ll say, ‘I must go back to my own husband. I was much better off then than I am now!’ Yet, she never understood that I was the one who was giving her the grain, sweet wine, and olive oil. I lavished upon her an abundance of silver and gold, which she took and made into idols of Baal. So I will take back my grain at harvest time and my new wine when the grapes are ripe. I will snatch away my wool and my flax used for clothing to cover her naked body.
