Hosea 2:5-7
Tree of Life Version
5 Or else I will strip her naked
and expose her as on the day she was born.
Then I will make her like a wilderness.
Yes, I will make her like desert land,
and I will let her die of thirst.
6 I will have no compassion for her children,
for they are children of prostitution.
7 For their mother has practiced prostitution.
She who conceived them has been shameful.
For she said, ‘Let me go after my lovers,
who are giving me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
Hosea 2:5-7
New International Version
5 Their mother has been unfaithful
and has conceived them in disgrace.
She said, ‘I will go after my lovers,(A)
who give me my food and my water,
my wool and my linen, my olive oil and my drink.’(B)
6 Therefore I will block her path with thornbushes;
I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way.(C)
7 She will chase after her lovers but not catch them;
she will look for them but not find them.(D)
Then she will say,
‘I will go back to my husband(E) as at first,(F)
for then I was better off(G) than now.’
