Hosea 2:5-7
English Standard Version Anglicised
5 For (A)their mother has played the whore;
she who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For (B)she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
who (C)give me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
6 Therefore (D)I will hedge up her[a] way with thorns,
and (E)I will build a wall against her,
so that she cannot find her paths.
7 She shall pursue her lovers
but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
but shall not find them.
(F)Then she shall say,
‘I will go and return to (G)my first husband,
(H)for it was better for me then than now.’
