Hosea 2:12-15
New International Version
12 I will ruin her vines(A) and her fig trees,(B)
which she said were her pay from her lovers;(C)
I will make them a thicket,(D)
and wild animals will devour them.(E)
13 I will punish her for the days
she burned incense(F) to the Baals;(G)
she decked herself with rings and jewelry,(H)
and went after her lovers,(I)
but me she forgot,(J)”
declares the Lord.(K)
14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the wilderness(L)
and speak tenderly to her.
15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor[a](M) a door of hope.
There she will respond[b](N) as in the days of her youth,(O)
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.(P)

Hosea 2:12-15
King James Version
12 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.
13 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.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15 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.
