Hosea 2:8-13

NSB(i) 8 »She did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they used for Baal. 9 »Therefore I will take back my grain at that time, and my new wine in the season. I will pluck away my wool and my flax that should have covered her nakedness. 10 »Now I will uncover her lewdness (obscene behavior) in the sight of her lovers, and none will deliver her out of my hands. 11 »I will also cause all her exaltation to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies. 12 »I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees. Of this she said: These are my loose woman’s hire that my lovers have given me. I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field will eat them. 13 »I will punish her for the days in which she burned incense to the Baals, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me,« said Jehovah.
