Hosea 2:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
    of which she said,
    “These are my pay,
        which my lovers have given to me.”
    I will change them into a forest,
        and the wild animals will eat them.
¹³ I will punish her for the days dedicated to the Baals,
        when she offered sweet-smelling sacrifices to them
        and dressed herself up with rings and jewelry,
        and went after her lovers,
        and forgot me, says the Lord.

¹⁴ Therefore, I will charm her,
        and bring her into the desert,
        and speak tenderly to her heart.
