Hosea 2:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ I will put a stop to the special times she celebrates.
    I’ll bring an end to the feasts she celebrates each year.
I’ll stop her New Moon feasts and her Sabbath days.
    I’ll bring all her appointed feasts to an end.
¹² I will destroy her vines and her fig trees.
    She said they were her pay from her lovers.
I’ll make them like clumps of bushes and weeds.
    Wild animals will eat them up.
¹³ Israel burned incense to the gods
    that were named Baal.
I will punish her
    for all the times she did that.
She decorated herself with rings and jewelry.
    Then she went after her lovers.
    But she forgot all about me,”
    declares the Lord.
