Bible. Hosea
28:002:005 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived
them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my
lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my
flax, mine oil and my drink.
28:002:006 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and
make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
28:002:007 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not
overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find
them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first
husband; for then was it better with me than now.
28:002:008 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil,
and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for
Baal.
28:002:009 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time
thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover
my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
28:002:010 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her
lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
28:002:011 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her
new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
28:002:012 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she
hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me:
and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field
shall eat them.
28:002:013 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she
burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her
earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and
forgat me, saith the LORD.
28:002:014 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the
wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
28:002:015 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley
of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in
the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out
of the land of Egypt.
28:002:016 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt
call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
28:002:017 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and
they shall no more be remembered by their name.
28:002:018 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the
beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the
creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and
the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them
to lie down safely.
28:002:019 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth
thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in
lovingkindness, and in mercies.
