Hosea 2:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “Though she follows after her lovers, she shall not overtake them. Though she seeks them, she shall not find them. Then she shall say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband. for I was better off at that time than now.’

⁸ “Now, she did not know that I gave her grain, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they bestowed upon Baal.

⁹ “Therefore, I will return and take away My grain in its time, and My wine in its season, and will recover My wool and My flax, to cover her shame.
