Hosea 2:12-18
New International Version
Hosea 2:12-18
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)
16 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“you will call me ‘my husband’;(Q)
you will no longer call me ‘my master.[c]’
17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips;(R)
no longer will their names be invoked.(S)
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them
with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the creatures that move along the ground.(T)
Bow and sword and battle
I will abolish(U) from the land,
so that all may lie down in safety.(V)

Hosea 2:12-18
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.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 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.
